Ensure the washer is properly plugged in and check your household circuit breaker. Make sure the door is closed securely; the washer won't start if the door isn't fully shut. Verify that the 'Start' button is pressed firmly. If none of these steps resolve the issue, reset the washer by unplugging it for a few minutes, then plugging it back in. Persistent problems may require professional service.
