The MTW5720TQ is built around its control board that must see the lid locked before it will spin, so a fault in that path explains most of what owners describe. Reading the plate first avoids the common problem of a part that fits the family but not the build.
Stick to levelling the machine, balancing loads and dosing detergent correctly and switch the appliance off at the breaker before looking at anything. Internal diagnosis needs meters and training.
