My Whirlpool Cabrio Washer Wtw5500xw0 Will Not Start.
The Start button just blinks no matter which setting I set the control knob to. When I press the Start button it just beeps but does not start. I have tried disconnecting the power source for several minutes to reset and that did not work. I held the Start button in for 30 seconds and that did not work.
