Amana NTW4519JW 3.8 cu ft HE Top Load Washer with Deep Water Wash Won't Start Error Fix: Washer Will Not Start

The washer does not respond when the cycle is selected and the Start button is pressed. The most common cause is a failed lid switch or lid lock — the washer will not operate with the lid unlatched. Check the lid lock indicator light — if it's not illuminating or is flashing, the lid lock assembly may need replacement. Also verify the outlet has power and the breaker has not tripped. Check the power cord connection and try unplugging for 1 minute to reset the control board. If the motor hums briefly then stops, the motor coupling may be broken.
