Sounds like a bad lid lock. Since you have already removed it from the machine, just replace the lid lock and use it the way you have been. The washer will drain the water after 10 min if the lid is left up, so that tells me the lid lock is suspect. | ||

 Have you checked for recorded fault codes related to the malfunction you're experiencing? Tying wires together to bypass the switch probably will result in the machine failing to operate and/or throwing fault codes when the control board doesn't detect the lid lock engaging and disengaging as it expects per the programming. | ||

Haven't checked for fault codes, not sure how to. I had assumed if I bypass the switch , the machine would just run as if the lid is closed before the Start button is pushed. | ||

By Passing A Washer Lid Switch At a minimum you would have to install a Manuel switch that you would have to flip every time you used the washer, the washers control probably also senses the load of the little solenoid in the LL so you would also have to turn this load on and off at the right times to fool the control.
It might be better to buy a better washer, maybe one made in Wisconsin.
