Wtw 4950 wont start

The sensing light comes on. the lid locks. It tries to start then nothing happens. the lid lock light then flashes and nothing happens. You cannot open lid. If you hold button a long time (more than the 3 sec recommended) eventually it will clear but the problem repeats. I tried various settings, even unplugging but no change

You need to get into diagnostic mode and check the error codes. This washer will give you couple of error codes but the first one is the latest. To check error codes
How to Read Vertical Modular Washer VMW Error Code Display
Calibrate/reset error
How to Calibrate Top Load Washer

After calibration/resetting the codes, check error code again that will give you correct error code. If there's no error possible problem is the actuator.

My Whirlpool Cabrio washer wtw555oxwo turns on, lid locks, then the lid lock light starts flashing and the machine does nothing. Just replaced the lid lock, but nothing has changed. Any suggestions?

adjust the lid lock switch?? seems to me that lid lock mech is not moving far enough to properly be sensed by switch

if machine is over 8 months old id suspect rust in lock arm as cause

I have a Whirlpool Cbrio top load washer. it won't start it's cycle. Once it senses the load, the lock lid light flashes and it does nothing. can this be fixed?

I would say that the lock has failed. Either the lock itself or maybe the pin or latch that fits into it when you close the door may have cracked / broken. If the machine thinks the door / lid is still open, it wont let you start it.

After pushing start, lid locking light flashes, clicks like it is locking but is not locked and nothing happens but it keeps clicking

Sounds like the lid lock itself is bad, be sure to check the connections at the control board. There should be a tech sheet inside the front panel towards the top left. This can help you check the error codes and wiring diagrams.
