Why won't my Whirlpool washer start and how can I reset it?

If your Whirlpool washer is not starting, there could be a few reasons for this issue. To troubleshoot and potentially reset the washer, follow these steps:

1. Check if the washer is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Ensure that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
2. Verify that the washer's door or lid is securely closed. Some models have a safety mechanism that prevents operation if the door is open.
3. Confirm that the water supply valves are turned on and the water hoses are not kinked or clogged.
4. Ensure there are no error codes displayed on the washer's control panel. If there are any error codes, refer to the user manual or Whirlpool's official website for troubleshooting steps specific to your model.
5. Try resetting the washer by unplugging it from the power outlet for about one minute. Then, plug it back in and try starting the washer again.
6. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Whirlpool customer support for further assistance or schedule a service appointment if your washer is under warranty.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you can identify and potentially resolve the issue preventing your Whirlpool washer from starting.
