Could it be as simple as the control box(larger of the 2 blue plastic boxes inside the top cover) has a problem. If so does anyone know of a tech I could take it and the circuit board box (other blue box)to on the Gold Coast in Qld to check for me . Rather than pay the appliance call out fee and the part cost as well. I love this washer and it is in great condition….it just will not start and as a pensioner I do not have unlimited funds.
