washing machine stops and will restart when I tap the lid?

After machine runs to the 4th cycle it stops. then when I tap the lid it starts again. I can raise the door lid and it stops. I close the door lid and it wont start til I tap on the door lid. what is causing this?

A microswitch on the door lid is having a bad day, I guess!
