No power & starting

Check display and plug safely

If the control is dark, check whether the cord is visibly seated in a dry, accessible outlet. Do not pull the washer forward or touch the plug when water is nearby. The installation sheet calls for a grounded three-prong receptacle and a 15- or 20-amp circuit.

Confirm operating conditions

The chart names both water supply turned off and lid open among no-operation causes. Turn both faucets fully on if safely accessible; close the lid and select a cycle. The washer must have the lid closed to fill and start. A persistent “Lid” message when closed is a service issue; do not bypass the lid magnet.

Set cycle and press START

Select a cycle and press START. Pressing START again pauses or resumes. Turning the selector after start stops the washer and resets it to the new selection, so check the knob before concluding that the controls are dead.

Use the specific reset only if safe

The manual’s operation chart says unplug the washer, wait two minutes, reconnect and press START when electronics need resetting. Do this only if the plug and floor are dry and accessible. If the breaker trips again, stop and use qualified electrical/appliance service; do not repeatedly reset it.

Escalate

A damaged cord, warm or loose outlet, repeated trip, blank panel at a known working outlet, or unrecognized display warrants professional attention. Record whether lights appeared, whether the lid message cleared, and whether power returned after the documented reset.

Separate appliance power from a start condition

If any light or status message appears, the washer has power and the next check is lid, cycle selection or START. The manual says the closed lid is necessary for operation; a raised lid stops fill, agitation and spin while the timer continues. If control is entirely blank, follow the dry-access plug and outlet check rather than pressing START repeatedly.

The rating/spec sheet lists 120V, 60Hz, 10A and the installation instructions specify a dedicated grounded branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse. These are identification requirements for a qualified electrician, not an invitation to inspect the panel. Never substitute an extension cord or adapter.

Check for a household circuit issue without opening it

If the washer is plugged in but unresponsive, the owner chart lists a tripped breaker or blown fuse. Check only whether other household equipment has power and whether the breaker appears tripped; the installation sheet specifies that the washer should have a separate outlet. If the breaker trips again, do not reset repeatedly. A qualified electrician can check the circuit and grounding.
