Maytag washer run problem

I have a Maytag washer that with run fine and fill up but once it fills up it will stop. To get it going again I have to hit the front top right corner of the machine with my hand. Once I do that it starts back up and runs through the cycles perfectly. Any ideas what I should look for? Thank you

Do you feel like the Fonz when it goes back on again? :)

If it's full of water and not spinning then it's most likely your lid switch is broke/or breaking.

When you're hitting it you're probably knocking it temporarily on and then the machine shakes and it goes off.
