If your Whirlpool washer won't go past sensing, check if the lid is securely closed as the washer won’t start the cycle without it. Ensure the water supply is turned on and there are no kinks in the hose. Sometimes, unplugging the washer for a few minutes and then plugging it back in can reset the system. For persistent issues, it could be a faulty sensor or control board needing professional attention.
