sounds like the lid switch

no.... Touchpannel or Main Control BAD....

If no light has come on when you switch machine on you will have to check for power at the socket and then make sure fuse hasnt blown in plug.

hello it might have blew the glass fuse in side the washer it's located on the power supply board .but beware if you put another 1 in and it blows again then theres a dead short somewhere good luck

control unit dead, replace main control and possibly user interface. Sorry this is very common failure on whirlpool.

OK legendsinc sounds like you motor control unit has blowen and due to age of machine i would not be at all surprised if your seals and bearings have gone, cheak under machine for a brown ring around the casing this is an idicator for failed main seal. Also the big give away is nosy on spin

a small run of these actually had an out of balance switch and fuse assembly that cut power to the machine if it went way out of balance ,check and see if yours has one and replace the fuse at first but you may have to replace the entire assembly

you can reset the machine by following the instruction on the owner's manual.

our washer smelled like burning and reset button totally fixed it, it was under screwed down panel in back
