The most likely cause of this issue is a problem with the washing machine's door lock. When the door lock is not functioning properly, it can cause the wash and start lights to flash. To fix this, you will need to replace the door lock.
If the door lock is not engaging the control will not allow a cycle to start as a safety precaution, so the door lock assembly will need to be replaced if the door will not lock. You can order the new door lock assembly from the link below Genuine 8182634 Whirlpool Washer Door Switch Assembly eBay
sounds like the door lock mechanism. if this cannot signal it has engaged, to the board, no other function will work (you don't want the washer going with the door open, trust me :) )
Try taking the top of the machine off and checking all of the electrical connections, including the one to the door lock. I have to do this about once a month with my machine and it seems to work.
