Thank you for allowing me to assist you, Friend.

If you are receiving an error code PAUSE, it commonly indicates that the door of your washer is not securely latched or the cycle has been interrupted. Try pressing "PAUSE/CANCEL" or "START/PAUSE" once to resume cycle. If these basic troubleshooting tips prove ineffective, try reprogramming your appliance by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is best to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn on your washer. If the issue persists, then your washer could possibly have a faulty door latch or experiencing a communication error with the control board. I would personally contact a professional to accurately diagnose your washer to determine the root cause to reduce the risk of unnecessary parts. Hope this helps! - Z

SOURCE: My washer is stuck in the pause mode

This sounds like a broken door switch. Open the door and look on the right side of the cabinet where the door latch goes in. About 4-5 inches above that there should be a small actuator that sticks out about a quarter inch. You should be able to press it in and out easily. If you only have a hole with nothing sticking out, the actuator is broken. You can break off a round toothpick and insert it in the hole, leaving about a quarter inch sticking out and gently close the door and see if the machine starts up.
Post back and let me know what you find.
Thanks/Mike

SOURCE: the washer is stuck in pause mode. How do I get

Control Lock To avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the washer, press Options and Select at the same time and hold for 10 seconds until “LOC” is displayed alternately with the estimated cycle time. To unlock the controls, press Options and Select at the same time and hold 10 seconds until ”LOC” is no longer displayed.

ATF8000FS1 washer is stuck in pause. Any suggestions?

Hi friend, thanks for your inquiry!

If your washer continues to display an error code of "PAU" it could be an issue with your door lock but if the door strike is not sitting properly within the latch your washer will continue to provide the error code "PAU". Additionally, if your control panel is registering that the door is closed you may continue to experience the "PAU" code. I would recommend having a professional come and properly diagnosis your washer to prevent any unnecessary part purchases. I hope this is helpful. -OOS

Stuck on pause will notrun

Hi Jeanen, thank you for allowing me to assist you.

Pause commonly indicates that the unit thinks that the door is not securely latched or the cycle has been interrupted. Try pressing "PAUSE/CANCEL" or "START/PAUSE" once to resume washer. If it proves to be ineffective, try reprogramming the appliance by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and then turn the unit on. If resetting the power does not correct the issue, then the washer could possibly have a faulty door latch or experiencing a communication error with the control board.

Stuck on pause

You either have a bad control board or a bad communication to the timer of the unit and the timer needs to be replaced. If you do not see an alpha-numeric error code displayed I would contact a professional.

Pause mode stuck

Is the door firmly closed? Open the door and close it firmly. If the pause button is really stuck, you will need to repair/replace the board.
