This is commonly caused by the washer lid switch being defective, unless the washer senses the like switch is closed the washer will not start only fill with water and the nothing.
Sounds like the switch telling the machine that the lid is open is either broken or loose. The safety feature of the lid switch will allow the water to fill, but will not allow the motor to start (as it should) if the lid is open.If you are handy with things electrical, simply bridge the switch out.
Sounds like you have a sticky micro switch that shows that your lid is closed. This will be near the locking mechanisum or near the hing. This may need to be replaced. WARNING MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OF TO YOUR MACHINE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ASCCESS THIS SWITCH.
If the machine fills with water normally but then just sits there, you might have a bad lid switch - that's the safety interlock that won't let the machine start unless the lid is closed. Check the switch and also make sure the lid engages it when you put the lid down. Of course there could also be a problem with the motor, but first check that switch.
Most washers today will not do anything after fill unless it sees the lid switch (innerlock system) closed. The same as having the lid of the washer up during a wash cycle. They will fill but until the timer, or ECB gets a signal back from the pressure switch (water level switch) it will go no further. Some of the electronic machines will also time out in the fill cycle because of a lack of water flow. The fill cycle is a timed event and if the water level switch ( controlled by the ECB ) does not close in the time alloted, it will stall. This can be checked by hitting the start button again. Most of these problems are caused by a lack of water flow on the initial start up. Cleaning your water inlet screens in the supply hoses and screens in the mixing valve itself will solve this issue.More information to the specific model would help pin-point this problem.
