Washing machine won't start

Have you checked the troubleshooting section of the manual?

Are you sure your plug source is working?
It may not be your washer at all.

Thanks all for your responses. Yes, I've tried all your suggestions to no avail.

It looks to be a common problem with that machine.

Several repair advice sites are blaming it on either blown fuses or bad circuit boards.

Most say the machine is worth repairing. If you don't find specific advice for your machine's problem on any of these sites, it might be worth the bucks to call in a repair person familiar with that brand.

Here is the manufacturer's website and customer care page where you can locate repair service for it:
