Mr. Gadget was correct!
This machine was acquired with the lid switch failed in the "ON" /operate position.
Apparently it had failed again randomly right after the machine had filled for the deep rinse, but it had failed in the "OFF" / stop position.
I had only previously bypassed the tub lamp to work and be "on" constantly, as long as the fluorescent control-panel illumination lamp was "on".
I was able to electrically bypass the lid switch, which resolved all issues.
NO CHARGIE! LOL
