My washer will not start. Wash, rinse final spin lights are on including other light from setting but door lock will not work.
I too had the same problem, I closed the soap tray and a magnet popped out and got stuck to the door. Same problem with it acting like it was going to start and then beeped. This is where the magnet goes, just stick it back in, its held in with pressure (barely) :)
I took the whole control panel off to locate the magnetic reed switch, then just reverse engineered where the magnet is supposed to go on the soap drawer.
If you still have problems with the washer not starting, take off the top panel (2 screws in the back of the washer, slide the top panel back and lift), take out the soap tray (pull it out, press the piece of plastic down that says push and then pull the tray all the way out), take off the control panel (2 screws on top, 2 screws inside soap tray hole) and find the magnetic switch. It is black with 2 black wires and it is situated right next to the soap tray hole. Cut the wires somewhere in the middle (in case you want to reattach the sensor later). On the 2 pieces of wire still attached to the circuit board, strip the ends off and wrap them together. Use some electrical tape to insulate them from touching anything.
This will bypass (short) the sensor, telling the washer that the soap tray is always closed. The only problem with this is that if you try to open the soap tray while its filling, you might get wet. Just put the soap in first, turn it on, and don't open the soap tray while its in cycle :)

My wash act as if it wants to start - it goes thru all of the motion, locking the door and all the lights come on - the timer begins the count down for the first minute and then it beeps and a error pops up on the LED - the code looks like " ddo " I did find a small magnet under the detergent dispenser, it had attached itself to the top of the washer door. Any help would be appreciated.
