If your washer won’t start when you press the start button, check if the lid or door is securely closed. Many washers won’t operate if they sense the door is open. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and there’s power at the outlet. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. Verify the settings on the washer, ensuring you’ve selected a proper cycle and that the load isn’t unbalanced or too large, which could prevent the washer from starting.
