If your clothes washer will not turn on make sure the power cord is plugged in and the cord is not faulty. If the clothes washer still will not switch on, then check the circuit breaker of fuse.
Oversudsing may cause leaks and blocked drains within the clothes washer. To reduce oversudsing when it takes place, pour ½ cup white vinegar mixed with cold water into the clothes washer.
If experience problems with the water temperature, make sure the faucets are fully open and there is enough hot water available. Also check to see if the screens in the inlet valve or hoses aren’t clogged.
If the washer will not spin or begins to shake, the problem is most likely that the load may be too bulky or out of balance. A quick fix for this is to try and remove some clothes or redistribute the load.
