A washing machine that clicks and doesn’t start may indicate a locked door, faulty door latch, or misaligned drum. Check if the door is properly closed and latched. Inspect the door latch for any visible damage. Ensure the drum is not overcrowded or misaligned. If these are fine, there might be an issue with the control board or motor, and professional repair may be needed.
