KitchenAid Washing machine stops mid-cycle and stays stopped

I have a KitchenAid washing machine (Model number KAWE577B) that stops mid-way through the wash cycle and I have to "bang" on the lid to get it to resume. Once it does, it finishes without a problem and washes fine. It just seems that something is loose or stuck that keeps it from clicking through to the next step in the cycle. Thanks!!

Water Inlet Valve

If the washer stops mid cycle the water inlet valve cold water side may have failed. Most washers have a cold water rinse and so if they can't fill with cold water they just sit indefinitely waiting for the cold water to enter. If there is cold water to the water inlet valve and the cold water works in other parts of the cycle - or to make warm water - the valve is not the problem.
