I've got a Whirlpool Washer, MOD LA5300XSNO that was working fine. I just moved into an new house and ran a load of clothes. The cycle ran up to the spin program then stopped. I tried to get a spin cycle to run on any program; nothing. I've tried to get any cycle to start anywhere from start, to middle, to spin, nothing.
I did have the cycle knob pulled out on a cycle, turnned the load selsector switch from small to large and water started to enter the tub for a couple seconds, then nothing. Now I cannot get anything to work. I can hear the timer running, but nothing activates regardless of what I select.
Also, before this, when I hooked everything up, I would get cold water in the tub when I had the temp selector on HOT. The hoses are hooked up properly, hot line to hot inlet, cold to cold.
There is power to the outlet that I have the wsher hooked up too.
Any ideas of what to test?
Thats a problem. Did you have the washer laid on it's side when moving? Timer switch would be first look. Hot water not working,but cold is? Mmmm.. Water inlet is pretty simple no real mechanical parts except intake valve for each inlet. Valve could be plugged or stuck closed on hot intake. Temp switch could be bad and that would cause the water intake to shut.I guess, but not usually a problem unless old machine. Make sure the fuse in control panel is intact. Underside of washer is a relay switch called wigwag. If it is bad nothing will cycle, easy fix 10 minutes and $15 in most cases. But check out before jumping to solve. All ways check cheapest parts first. Lid switch would also cause the no start and spin cycle problems.
