To even contemplate trying to repair something like this you must have the service manual or service sheet, often inside the machine, under the inspection panel, when removed will reveal a troubleshooting manual. https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/f16b0618a09b52f6852574a5004b31c1?OpenDocument Above is a generic service manual, if there is no sheet in the unit, this will help somewhat. Now below is a dedicated self help washer repair troubleshooting site, all free, now between this website and http://www.washerhelp.co.uk/diy-repair-help.html
You simply are going to have to troubleshoot to isolate and fix your problem,as may symptoms, look the same , yet have very differing Causes. It also would be good if you have a Multimeter, too. But as said it is all in the manuals and troubleshooting sites to know exactly what to do, step by step. "Is it an overload switch that needs resetting? " (sic) No I do NOT think so. "part of the electronics that may have failed ?" (sic) Yes i DO think you have had some sort of electronic, electrical, sensor failure. "could it be the motor? " (sic) usually these stand up well, you can usually tell by the smell that a burnt out motor gives off, it is very distinctive. So NO I do NOT think the motor is bad. It is most likely OK. But never to be ruled out, until tested.

possible cause is a faulty motor capacitor if not electronic board faulty

call manufactor to ck warranty

It is more than likely that it is the door handle or door lock that is the cause of the prob.
To release the door, you are goiung to have to remove the top cover, and force the door open from the inside with a long screwdriver or similar.
You may break the door lock doi g this, so be prepared to fit a new one.
If you manage to get the door open, then you need to sepreate the 2 halfs of the door to gain access to the handle and spring.
If you require further assistance, please e-mail me.
Good luck.

Most likely the EPROM is gone, or more commonly known as the PCB (Programm Control board) and it needs replacement. Costs about £80 for the board plus installation.

Yo!

unplug machine from power.

pull the front panel off of the machine its at the bottom, kind of snaps off bottom first then top eases out, anyway becareful as it is pretty fragile plastic.

On right hand side unscrew filter cap - prepare for lots of water that really stinks to pour out. Cap can be a fiddle but does release after unscrewing anti clock wise.

Put fingers in and clear out any blockages you can see, mine was a 1 pence peice and a hair tie. Put back together and it should be ok.

You should check your machine,s wheel.
