Darla,

Are you sure all the selection buttons are pressed and locked in the down position.

Are you sure the drain hose is high enough, so the tub will hold water ?

What happens if you start the machine in the spin cycle ?

Do you hear a click noise when you raise or close the lid ?

You may not need a part at all, or maybe a lid switch, or at least that's where we need to start.

Hope to hear from you soon.

:) :) :)
