Serving Charleston, SC & the Lowcountry
Before assuming the worst, there are a couple of free checks worth doing first.
Call (854) 291-4043 Book OnlineLikely Causes
Door or lid not fully latched
Most washers refuse to start unless the door is confirmed closed.
Blown thermal fuse or tripped breaker
A simple electrical interruption.
Failed door lock switch
Prevents the control board from getting a 'door closed' signal.
Control board fault
Less common, but possible on older units.
What You Can Safely Check Yourself
Make sure the door is fully closed and check your breaker panel first — both are quick, free checks.
When to Call a Professional
If power and the door latch are both fine, it's a switch or control board issue that needs a technician. Daniel Appliance Repair offers same-day and next-day appointments across Charleston, SC and the surrounding Lowcountry.
