Hi Bob has it got out of balance as that can stop the programmer or freeze it. Check to see if you can rock the machine do not need to use much force though. Will it empty and then rinse on it own will it spin on its own is it only on one setting... As for what parts I would want to Look/see first. David

Pete, check if the fridge door closes properly. Also check if it cools ok. and you can hear the fan running.Check the settings.

You can order replacement parts online. Here is a site that I have used in the past. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/top-cabinet-parts-for-whirlpool-llr8233bn0.html There is a place to search within this model and if you type "knob" without the quotes, it will show you just the knobs for the washer.

If I were you I would replace the timer .I think that will solve your problem but if not depending on the age of your washer you could spend more on parts and labor than it's worth.Hope this helps you. Thanks.

If this is the mechanical type program controller timer then it is possible that the stepper motor is not working or that the contacts in the timer are not working.
In this case you try and spray using a degreasing spray like WD40 and if there is no result then the timer must be changed. Since this is a costly part care must be taken to estimate if the machine is an old one or try and get one from a damaged washer.

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors or feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven from the flow into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor.

So it seems that the pressure switch is not activated to cut off and hence the program does not move forward. you can check the vacuum control on the diaphragm of the pressure switch.

Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.
