Is there any way to bypass the malfunctioning door switch to test for other faults and run "at your own risk" loads until the problem can be fully fixed?

I have received an error code E47 from my front load washer after it failed to complete a cycle leaving my load soaking wet.

I opened the lid and found the trouble shooting guide. I followed it for my error code and came up with two possibilities.

a.) The door lock mechanism.
I pulled this off first and tested it with a multimeter and got a reading of around 1500 Ohms. According to the troubleshooting guide this is a proper reading. This being the case the manual points to a bad computer.

b.) The computer control panel.
I have purchased and replaced this part based on part (a) supposedly being in working condition. I plugged in the washer and attempted another load and I received another E47 after it failed to spin off.

What else could be causing this problem? I have spent a good chunk of change on that computer thinking it would work, without being able to recover the cost on a return. Could I be wrong in thinking that the lock mechanism was a working part if it reads 1500 Ohms.
