If your Whirlpool washing machine isn’t turning on, don’t worry—the odds are extremely high you just pressed the wrong button on accident, or there’s some minor power issue. Start by turning the power on and off to clear any settings preventing the machine from turning on. If you can’t reset the machine or the drum still won’t start, begin with the simplest explanations first—like the outlet and the machine’s door. We’ll help break all of this down and more.
