Washer Will Not Start

I just used the washer with no problem and the next load I pushed start and the washer will not start. The lights are on, and I tried other settings besides normal but it does not lock the door or start. I'm not sure if there is a reset button on the back of the washer. I looked but did not see one immediately. Please help, housekeeper comes today and I need to use the washer. Thanks so much! Susan Lyle
