check the thermal fuse if the power from the house gets through the plug and into the machine

Re: the touch screen stopped working this morning. Can't do anything. Is there a reset button for the computer?
No there is not. If the touch screen is blank and you know that you have power at the outlet, then the computer module has been fried and will need to be replaced.
Possible reasons for a computer module going bad are most commonly due to power surges. If you plug in an outlet surge suppressor then plug your computerized washer and dryer into it, that will save you BIG $$$ over time.

Hello. Check to see whether power is getting to the washing machine. Is it plugged in? Has a fuse blown or is a circuit breaker tripped?

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

main computer board then once you get it fixed put it on a surge protector it just like your computer,part cost about 100 to 150.00

Won't Power Up

• 120VAC electrical supply.

Check voltage supply to washer.

• Open AC cord.

Check for voltage at the power cord connection to the line filter.

• Line filter open.

Check voltage into and out of line filter.

• Machine control board open.

With the washer off but connected to the AC outlet, measure the AC voltage between Pins 4 and 2 at connector P16.

Where the power cord goes into the washer is a small box called a line filter. It is there to protect the electronics in the control. It might be that the line voltage filter has failed. Remove the rear panel on the control to access it. Calypso Service Manual

This is the worst washing machine ever..the caylso by whirlpool,,, I want in on an lawsuit.../

You ever hear of dog years? Well Calypso follows those same guidelines. So your machine is 35 years old. These are the Edsel's of washing machine fame. I had a Calypso for 6 1/2 years. 3 pumps, numerous circuit boards, drive motors, phone calls and arguements with Whirlpool, along with machine downtime. I finally junked it and bought a Whirlpool Duet 9200 HT (get the made in Germany machine). A world of difference in wash quality. Fresh smelling unballed clean clothes. The Calypso was removed from the market and the subject of a class action lawsuit. Just Google it and start reading. Get comfortable first. There's a lot to read.

Make sure the outlet has power, if it does then you have a control board issue or possible wiring problem inspect/test control board input voltages
