The best way to find a leak in this machine is to operate it with the cabinet removed. You need to remove the trim caps on the control panel and remove the two screws in the corners. Flip the panel back on it's hinges. Unhook the lid switch harness, and pop out the two gold clips that secure the cabinet to the back panel. Tilt the cabinet back slightly and pull off of the base. With most models, you should still be able to fill the machine with the lid switch disconnected. Check the water pump first for bulging plastic or a small hole, as that's a common leak source. Hope that helps.
2. Remove two screws in back of angled top part connecting it to base, lift back up 4-6" and shift top toward front 1/2" so tabs holding front of top to machine base can disconnect.
There are filter screens where the supply hoses connect to the washer. On some brands there is a screen where the hose connects to the water valve at the wall. The screen is probably full of sediment.
Ended up calling a repair guy who charged us $191.42 ($70 for the switch and $145 for labor! What a ripoff!) And that was with a 20% discount on labor!
Thats a simple one to replace. Unplug unit. Take a putty knife and release clips that secure console to top. They are located on each front corner of console. Raise lid. Unplug harness from switch. Take ground screw out that is part of switch assembly. Release plastic tab that holds switch in place and remove switch. Install and snap into place new switch with lid open. Put ground screw back in place and plug harness back into place. Lower lid and then raise and listen for clicking noise. Put console back in place. That’s it.
Question edited for clarity.
'then', a moment in time.
'than', a comparison between one thing and another.
It depends on the model, but usually related to the lid lock. Also check the breaker.
Why does my washer stop working after filling with water?
If the Top Load Washer stops after filling with water, be sure to check the house circuit breaker/fuse as well as the outlet and plug. Washers should be plugged into their own separate, dedicated outlet.

Usually it's the lid switch..When you open the lip look straight down usually..When you close the lid it inserts a small plastic piece that goes into the hole telling the washer the lids down..If it broke it will make the washer stop mid cycle..You can stick a wooden (only made of wood) into the hole and sometimes it will start to work..Then you know that's the problem and just get your model number of the washer and replace it..Hope this helps
You start with under the agitator, then the filter, then the pump, then the hoses at the base of the drum and then everything else.
Then you find nothing and remember you took it out of your pocket and put it in........

Troubleshooting: Check the drain hose: Ensure that the drain hose is not clogged or kinked. If it is, straighten it out and remove any blockages.
Inspect the drain pump: Check the drain pump for any debris or foreign objects that may be blocking it. Clean it out if necessary.
Check the lid switch: Ensure that the lid switch is functioning properly. If it is faulty, it may prevent the machine from starting the drain cycle.
Check the waste hose: Ensure that the waste hose is not clogged. A clogged waste hose can prevent water from flowing out of the machine.
If this troubleshooting does not work, you may have to turn to professional assistance from a repairman.
For some reason, it is failing the self diagnostic tests. You need a service engineer, because the reason is likely the main control board. For that reason you need the correct diagnosis and warranty on the part and the work performed. This is not a simple fix. If the machine is old it may be prudent to just replace it.
The electric motor turns at a very high rate and as the brushes grip the commutator, they whine. The more weight in the machine, the more noise.
Normal.
