Check the power supply
If the washer seems to have no power at all, first check the power supply. Also check the circuit breakers to ensure that there was no recent power surge. Failure to work at all can also be caused by the sensor on the washer door lock. Washer parts to remedy this problem include a washer door lock assembly, or if the repair is electronic in nature, a main electronic control board.
Check the water supply
If the washer refuses to fill, first check the house's water supply to ensure that everything is in working order. A water problem may necessitate the need for outside washer repair help, so visit Sears PartsDirect if you need some assistance. The problem may be the water inlet valve assembly or the water level pressure switch.
Check the spin mechanisms
If the washer refuses to spin or is sluggish, some washer components may be faulty and need replacement. Some common parts that wear out after prolonged use include the washer agitator, agitator dogs or the washer drive belt. The washer lid sensor also may need replacement over time, as this switch tells the washer when to operate.
