Power If your washing machine won't start, begin by looking at the power source. First of all, is the washing machine plugged in? If it is, has it tripped a circuit breaker or blown a fuse? Check and reset the breaker (or replace the fuse) if necessary.

Lid Switch The main control for the washing machine is the switch inside the lid. If this has stopped working for some reason, your washing machine won't start. It's not especially difficult to troubleshoot this on a washing machine. You might have to open the top to access the switch. With the power on, depress the switch and listen for a click. If you don't hear one, the switch MAY BE BAD and will need to be replaced. Confirm defectiveness with a multi meter checking for continuity OHMS. An open circuit reflects a bad switch..
If the switch works but the washing machine still won't start, check to see if your washing machine has a special fuse for the lid switch. It will usually be inside the control panel. If it's blown, you'll need to replace it before the washing machine will start.

Door Interlock The problem could be with the door interlock. If the lights come on but the machine won't start, this might well be the cause. This could either be down to the wiring that runs to the door interlock, or the door catch not activating the interlock itself.

Timer Knob Some models of washing machine use a mechanical timer knob and won't run until the water in the machine has filled to the selected level. If the knob doesn't line up properly with the graphics on the control panel, you can try to troubleshoot the washing machine problem by advancing the timer a little. When you've done this, pull it out a little way and see if the washing machine will start properly.

Push start switch may need to be tested with a multi meter for continuity OHMS should show a closed circuit when pushed in or turned on.

Overheating If you've run several loads, one after another, without any problem but suddenly find your washing machine refuses to start, overheating could be the cause. The simple way to discover whether this is the problem is to give the machine ample time to cool down, say for a couple of hours, and then try it again. If it works fine, overheating has been the problem and you may have a motor with bad windings.

power off the machine using main power switch not the control panel switch

It isnt the power switch, it's the power supply itself. You need to get a new one from bestbuy.com, Tigerdirect.com or Geeks.com.

Emachines are notorious for their bad power supplies, and they usually burn out the motherboard when they die. Stop pushing that button and get a new Power supply before your board messes up.

IS IT ON?...DOES CDROM HAVE POWER GETTING TO IT FROM PC? Next to open/close switch there is a small pin-hole. Push a paperclip into this hole and gently pull out tray...try gently pushing tray back in and watch for a blinking green light;if none either the cdrom is not getting power, or it has quit working

I alway regret taking my sister in laws broken E machine.
She had something similar that prevented it to turn on. I was alway wondering it that 3 stem chip at the center of the board was a power on electronic switch When you turn on the machine this little thing would electronically close to complete the circuit.
But I never tooke it and never experimented...

Track down the motherboard manual, the motherboards of branded machines are usually made for them by PCChips or Foxconn or someone similar.
In the manual identify wich connectors on the motherbaord is the front power switch. Disconnect the front power switch and plug it all abck in again to see what happens with the power switch disconnected.
If you feel brave enough you can momentarily short the motherboard powerswitch connectors and the machine will start.
the front power switch is a momentary switch so only short the motherboard pins long enough for the machine to start.

Dear zmatt,

Looks like the power outlet or UPS may be at fault. Try a different outlet. That's all I can thik of.

Good luck!

You may have updated windows to a point that this old machine cant handle the revamp. Kick back to an older ops system, although that poses security risks. Your motherboard may also have given up. Best advice - upgrade, and retire this machine to the recycle bin.

How long does it take for this to happen? Try this:

Click on Start->Control Panel and double click on Power Options. Check the settings on the Power Schemes and Hibernate tabs. You may just need to alter these settings.
