Tried all of the suggested solutions on youtube, and almost gave up. The last one worked, I turned off the washer, then used a hairdryer to lightly heat the start button for about two minutes and it worked. It was either the severe cold weather we are having causing condensation/moisture to affect the button. After heating with the hairdryer for a few minutes, I turned the washer on, then selected a cycle, then pushed the start button and it worked.

Hey 👋 I have a wfw75hefw0 washing machine. The drum had fallen out from one of the hooks. I put it back and replaced the door boot seal. Now, when I plug the power cord into the working GFCI outlet, it doesn't start. What can be the possible reason? The power cord didn't work on multiple outlets so what can cause the machine to not turn on? It was working before the fix 😔

Ok I need help please with my front load whirlpool duet steam. Other day missed codes popped up. Hit power off to quick think. Then? It sounds as pump stuck in drain mode. I watched video cleaned trap out. But wonder if something else stuck in it? Cause it’s still stuck on. So I am gonna use wet dry vac. Next ? Before this the door lock light was on but nothing else would light up and couldn’t even pushing buttons, turn knob etc get lights come on. Then? Inside to the right after top off I see green light blinks when I press buttons so I know it’s getting power to it. And I hear it click on off when plug unplug it. Ok? So now I did have to use manual door release to get clothes out of washer yesterday stuck in it a week. So how and what can I do to try get bathe front panel to light back up? Tried holding buttons two of them diff times five seconds no go. And the pump? Not stopping draining function what else can I do? I did check the hose draining from washer it’s clear and cleaned it.

[@bryantwilliams9245]

And I’ve only had this for 18 months this is second issue about at 12 months the whole drum had be replaced because they said bearings went bad. This to me is a lemon. I hardly use it!

Thank you for this video. My Whirlpool Washer WFW9550WR00 is having a similar issue, any help is appreciated. @

[@georgevp]

My mom has been suffering with Whirlpool shortly after she got it. Sure it turns on but doesn't start. Customer service suggest unplugging it and that works or some days. She was on her 2nd machine and had an electrician work on the power to the point of getting a dedicated line from the breaker box... It works for a little longer but then it wouldn't star once more. Luckily she has complained to the electrician who contacted customer service and now in 2wks mom will be on her 3rd machine. Never had an issue with the old washer. Dryer works fine so who knows!

[@kevinking4371]

One of the very simple fixes not covered in the video is the keypad can become locked. I've had two customers who leaned against the washing machine and locked the keypad. Reading the error code on the display is helpful in determining the cause of the failure to start if the machine has one.

[@kylemay7780]

I have a Fridgidaire Affinity series washer/dryer set I got used several months back. Everything was fine up until two weeks ago when the spin cycle stopped working. So, I watched some troubleshooting videos. As a result, I pulled the washer apart, cleaned the filter, the pump and several other parts that may have resulted in that problem, and then put it all back together. Once finished, I began a cycle to ensure I was good to go. Now, the washer turns for a few seconds, runs a bit of water into the cycle, then turns off. It does this over and over again but never actually starts the cycle. Any ideas???? Please help!

[@bryanirvine6169]

Sounds like the motor control board. Be prepared to spend about $300.

[@kylemay7780]

Bryan Irvine is it seriously that much? I bought the set 6 months ago for 350. Are these fridgidaire sets notorious for having issues???
