Door would not close- machine would not start. replaced door switch.
Door now closes. When you push the washing selection- lights blink and machine still will not start. I have unplugged washer- left unplugged and after plugging in- same issue. Tried diagnostic procedures I saw on line- nothing same issue. Everything lights up- door is closed. When you push start- nothing happens and no latching sound- Any suggestions?
SOURCE: Washer won't start
First of all, does the washer make a distinctive "click" when you push the START button? This is an indication that your door latch is locking (or at least making an attempt to lock). Normally, however, the display would have an "fdl" fault code indicating a door lock failure if it were bad. I have seen the latch go bad and not register a fault code, though. You can perform this simple diagnostic test to see if any fault codes register: 1. Select DRAIN/SPIN 2. Under SPIN SPEED select NO SPIN 3. Then, under OPTIONS push the PREWASH button 4 times. You should hear the door latch click then "C00" will show on the display. The washer will begin a series of tests (C01...C05 - depending on options and model) by testing the hot and cold fill valves, the various dispenser compartments, followed by tumble, drain and spin. If there is something wrong the diagnostic test will abort and a fault code will be displayed. The washer usually beeps when it displays a fault code. If you attempt to perform the diagnostic and the display momentarily flashes after you press the PREWASH button the fourth time and goes out, this can also be a symptom of bad door latch. You need to perform these simple steps first in order to further diagnose. Let me know what you come up with.

After the complete wash cycle is finished, the clothes are still soaking wet sometimes. This is not an every load problem.

You have to replace the door lock(switch its all one unit) This will fix it.

Sometimes I just have to unplug the machine, wait a few seconds and plug it back in and it works. I guess it resets itself or something.

possible cause is faulty door latch also check latch on door for any raised or damaged surfaces next try pushing on door slightly if it latches and starts most likely door problem look more closely hope this helps

same issue - door locks light blink and will not start water into the tub
Lights go on, blink, time displayed. push start (door closed) nothing happens. Repairman has replaced interface board (switches) and main control panel - still same problem. Now replacing door switch - aha! it works.
