Washing Machine Won't Start?

September 26, 2010

Washing Machine Won't StartWhen I start the washer, it just makes a buzzing sound and does nothing else. Is the motor burned out? My wife was doing a load and when it finished the clothes were still soaking wet and then that is when I tried to start the cycle again and the buzzing sound was there.

I have watched my repairman fix my machine a couple of times, and there are no belts in it. However, there is a small part that connects to the motor that breaks, and then the agitator no longer agitates and the machine does not spin.

I think you should call a repair man to fix it. If your motor still runs, it is an inexpensive and easily replaced fix.

Unplug wait 30 seconds and plug it in again. If the motor is going, it will reset in 3 minutes.

I have a Samsung front load washing machine. When I turn it on all I get is a humming sound. I can turn it by hand easily. Any help would be appreciated.

Check that all the exterior panels are properly in place. There are safety switches on some panels to prevent the machine from moving when they aren't. If this isn't the problem, turn off the water supply and remove the hoses from the machine.

Check for clogs; don't forget to look at the at the tiny water filtering screens at the ends of the hoses. They can become corroded an prevent the machine from filling.

Google is a great place to look for an answer. We had the same problem. Not a Samsung but regardless. Found the machine humming and wouldn't do anything else. Looked on Google for help. Third try was it. We found our granddaughters sock had some how --- I don't know how slipped through and was stuck in the gears. Easy fix took about 15 mins in all.

It has something to do with the door lid. I usually leave it for a few minutes to give it time to completely stop the cycle. Open and shut the lid and mine goes back to normal. If your does not, it may need to be repaired.

Use an extension cord and try another outlet. If your washer still fails to work, it's time to call in someone to repair it.

Sounds like your motor needs replacing. If you have the top loader that is not computerized, and have easy access to the back of the washer, you can change out the parts yourself. A washer is simple in all their repairs, as long as they are not digital, computerized, etc. My last washer was 25 years old when a rusty tub made it necessary to buy new.

We recently moved our washer to work on the laundry room. We moved it back and when we tried to start the washer it makes a buzzing sound.

I no longer have the manual and the model number has been rubbed off over the years.

Normally in washers when they buzz after being moved it is a balance problem. The washer is not level and so the tub can't adjust correctly.

Check the level of your washing using a level. Adjust the feet to make sure the machine is level and try starting it again.

Check the troubleshooting section of your user guide manual and follow those instructions first.

Then check to see if something isn't stuck in the area when the protrusion on the washer lid depresses the inset button where lid meets washer - this feature prevents serious harm to the unwary by stopping the machine action when the lid is lifted. If there is 'gunk' or a build-up of lint caught in the inset button it will keep the machine from working.

Also check to make sure the circuit breaker to the machine isn't slightly flipped resulting in the current making an incomplete circuit to your machine - just enough juice to light those led lights and maybe the control panel but not enough to actually start the machine.

There are so many reasons why your machine isn't starting that if the above doesn't help you, you may need to call in a Maytag repair tech. Hopefully the machine is under warranty and the problem is something the warranty covers.

Is it level? If it is new, I would call the store. Did it come with a book? If so, look at the trouble shooting pages.

My old one had a reset button that I had to use after a power outage. My new one won't work if its not level.

I have front load washer. My daughter and niece tried to help with laundry which I couldn't be mad about, however we have to use water softener here. They accidentally mixed water softener with fabric softener and it created a nasty mixture of goo.

Now the washer won't do anything. There is no sound; it just starts to blink shortly after turning on. Is there anything I can do to get it running again? Thank you in advance.

I have a Maytag Maxima front loader. We kept on getting error codes for plugged drain so we cleaned out the hoses and took off the front panel and cleaned the lower filter which was pretty nasty. There were kids' socks, toys, and almost $5 in change, but we put it back together and tried to start a load and all it does is beep a few times in a metallic tone then shuts down.

I believe it threw out a code of INT at one point since we put it back together.

From product help

The cycle was paused or canceled. The washer may take 20 to 30 minutes to stop spinning and drain, and will display this error code during that time.

To remove the code, press pause or cancel button twice and the power button once.

If the code is still displayed, unplug the washer or disconnect the power for one minute.

There may be something that needs to be reset like a switch. Do you have a manual? Check it and see what they say under troubleshooting. One thing to try, which seems kinda silly, but it might work. Unplug the machine, wait to a slow count of ten, then plug it back in.
