Why won’t my washing machine turn on?

Call Now

There are several potential causes for a washing machine not turning on, including:

  • A blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker in the home’s electrical panel: This can happen if too much power is being drawn by the washing machine, or if there is a problem with the electrical wiring in the home. To spot this issue, homeowners can check their electrical panel to see if a breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown. If not addressed, this can cause damage to the washing machine and potentially other appliances in the home.
  • A malfunctioning door latch or switch: This can occur if the door latch is broken or not properly engaging, or if the switch that detects whether the door is closed is malfunctioning. To spot this issue, homeowners can check if the door is properly latched and if the switch is working properly. If not addressed, this can cause the washing machine to not turn on or to stop mid-cycle.
  • A faulty timer or control board: This can occur if the timer or control board, which controls the various functions of the washing machine, is damaged or malfunctioning. To spot this issue, homeowners can check if the timer or control board is functioning properly and if there are any visible damages. If not addressed, this can cause the washing machine to not turn on or to not function properly during a cycle.
  • A power outage or problem with the electrical outlet the washing machine is plugged into: This can happen if there is a power outage in the area, or if the electrical outlet the washing machine is plugged into is not working properly. To spot this issue, homeowners can check if the outlet has power and if other appliances plugged into the same outlet are working properly. If not addressed, this can cause the washing machine to not turn on or to stop mid-cycle.
