Door won't unlock and cycle won't start

My washer will not start a cycle. When I push the start button, I get 3 quick buzzer-like sounds and then nothing. The door is also locked, and I cannot get it open. It will not unlock, and the "door locked" indicator light is NOT on.

The interlock has failed most likely. Its a small electronic part that the door catch connects into when you close the machine door. Its tricky to release but can be done. Unplug the machine, remove the lid, put your hand down the front of the machine to where the door catch goes in and fiddle until it releases. It takes a bit of luck when you dont know what your looking for.

Cenral locking won open the tailgate fuse 1 ok

It normally DOES NOT Unlock with the Door Unlock. Depending on the Year/Make/Model. Some have a Separate Button, Some you have to Push 2 QUICK Unlocks for it to work, then there is one I ran into that you had to push it 3 times (I though that was odd).

One Quick Push = Drivers Doot
Two Quick Pushes = All Doors
Three Quick Pushes = Trunk

if you machine is warranty you must call to the whirlpool, and get the assistance via online chat. However you must wait about 180 seconds since you did the command STOP, and stop the motor, fi the water level is higher must be drain before the latch door unlock.
2) if do not obey press and hold END OF CYCLE, wait about 10seconds
3) reset the machine unplugged from wall by 45 minutes, and then plug again, and turn on and unlock the door

Washer won't start cycle after door is closed

Try taking the top of the machine off and checking all of the electrical connections, including the one to the door lock. I have to do this about once a month with my machine and it seems to work.

Kenmore 70 series model # 96573220

Sounds like the push to start switch has gone bad. Not to expensive to fix, and pretty easy to do as well. You can remove the rear of the console, remove the push to start switch (lift the tab, then turn to unlock) and replace. Be sure to mark your wires so they go back in the right order. Jim
