Stackable washer and dryer

All right I'm getting ready to winterize at least the washer and dryer in the Berk, and I can't get the lights for the washer to come on at all. I did check the circuit breaker and that's good, door is shut on the washer. What am I missing?

Are you saying there is a power switch located somewhere else on the front? I can hold down the start button for three seconds and nothing happens none of the lights come on it acts like it's unplugged

I don't know what brand of washer you have but our Splendid has a power switch on the panel with all of the other buttons and knobs.

Thanks for the reply. No this is the whirlpool stackable. It worked this past summer, but we haven't used it for a couple months now and I figured I'd run air thru the water lines on it, but now I can't get any lights to go on. I was hoping it was something simple i was overlooking.

I know you have done this, but wife sez you need to hold the button 5 to 10 sec. WE have the same w/d

Thanks. Yes, I did do that even though there were no lights at all.
It's looking more like I'll have to call a service tech 😭

I tried it both ways. I measured 120v at the outlet too.

Thank you for the reply.

Do you have the water pressure on to the washer? Some machines require water pressure to start. My wife just got a new washer at home and nothing would work until she realized the water was not on. If you blew the lines out with air first, that might be part of the issue. Just a thought to check out. If you pump the pink stuff through with the water pump that might work.
Good luck

Thanks. I had the same thought and connected water to the coach, but same result.

As said above, me thinks it's broke.

Thanks, all, for the replies.

Ken, I presume that you checked out the electrical outlet; like with a night light?

This may be another idea that might not help you either but on the front of our Whirlpool stackable washer dryer on the front of the washer there's a little reset button on the front of it did you try that.

Any chance I could ask you to snap a photo of that ?
I didn't notice one.

Thanks,

Little button with the X on it probably won't help you probably already tried it.
