Possible Causes

Lid or door not locked, Cycle not fully selected, Child lock enabled, Faulty start button or UI board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the control panel.

  • Check lid/door: Ensure it is fully closed and the lock indicator (if present) illuminates when Start is pressed.
  • Verify settings: Select a full cycle and options, then press Start firmly for 1–3 seconds.
  • Child lock: Look for a control lock icon. Disable by holding the designated buttons per your manual.
  • UI inspection: If the Start button is unresponsive while others work, the UI board or keypad may need replacement.
