What should I do if my washer won't start or stops working?

Check that the lid is closed, the Cycle Control Knob is set and pulled out, and the power cord is firmly plugged into a live outlet with proper voltage. Also verify that you have not blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker, and that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Check that the water hoses are not kinked or clogged, and that the drain hose is positioned higher than the water level in the washer. (Page 25)
