If you have an ohm meter, first unplug the washer then remove one wire from the diaphram switch and measure for continuity across the two poles on the switch.
Which two poles? There's three wires that run to the switch.

be very careful when measuring continuity. It is always best to test for the presence of voltage first, then once you are sure their is no energy on the contacts make your ohm test.
Actually when you check continuity aren't you supposed to have the power disconnected? And since you mentioned "then once you are sure their is no energy on the contacts make your ohm test" is there something on a washing machine that stores electricity after being unplugged?
