I had the same problem. I went so far as to break the handle off. Then I noticed the lock light was on and the wash cycle did not run. Then I noticed the water was not turned on. Then I turned the water on and shizam the machine was working.
That said. Do you know where I can buy a new washer handle and the shutoff for the water as if the water is left on the drum fills up. Being a certified redneck hick I am going to use bailer wire and a drill to fix the handle as my intercontinental jet is in the shop.
