I finished one load of wash, put it into the dryer and then loaded the washer. When I went to start the washer the spin light and the green light before rinse came on and beeped continuously. The washer will not start. We have a GWL11 Top Load Washer.

A top-load washer tub is usually supported by four suspension rods. If one of the suspension rods becomes dislodged or breaks, the control board may stop the spin cycle several times to try to balance the clothes. Suspension rods will often come in a set of four and it is recommended to replace all four of the rods at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

Try restarting it, make sure the load isnt to heavy, if that does not help, call a local repair man.

Sparks?

No do not finish the wash.This could be a shorted electrical wire or motor.Unplug the washer.Remove the wet wash and put it in the bath tub for now.

You will need to siphon out the water or remove it by bucket.Continuing the wash could lead to electric shock or a fire.

This happend to me 12 yrs ago and the washer caught fire.it was a bad motor and the grease caught fire under it.

faulty electonic board

Yes - the ECU is to blame, and is a common failure with this unit.

I am having the same problem w/ our brand new front loader washer, it pauses constantly, and even when I can get the load to finish, I have to drain and spin atleast 3 x before I can even attempt to put in dryer, at this point it is taking me hours to do one load of laundry!!
Ugh-- Service man is coming tomorrow, so I will share what I learn...
