Please check if the machine is not overloaded and causing the door to not close fully.
If that is not the case, try blowing air into the door switch, sometimes a little something can be stuck there.
if not, the door switch is faulty, have it replaced with local service center.

My washer panel will light up and the load washer light will come on, but the machine won't start

Hello,

To me that sounds like the problem may be within the door switch/lock, on the doorlock asm. is a little botton that sticks out of it,look and see if its their or perhaps its broken off. What that button does is tells the washer the door is closed so it can go ahead and lock it to start the cycle,its perhaps broken off sothe machine doesnt think the door is closed and thusly wont start.
