Hi everyone - looks like a great site! I have a Kenmore Elite Super Duty King Size Capacity Washer. It's about three years old now and tonight it just quit. The clothes were set like they hadn't been spun enough so I put it back on the spin cycle. It made some "clicking" types noises and was spinning so I went shopping (hey - it's Christmas!).

Now nothing at all on the washing machine - won't come on at all in any cycle. It's almost like there's no power. Any tips on how to start troubleshooting this?

Thanks so much - Sherri from Calgary, AB Canada

Is there power to the outlet, get something and plug it in and see if there is power.

Who would have thought it could have been so simple?? Thanks so much - I'm thinking it was overloaded and unbalanced when it spun - the breaker was definitely off. I've replaced the extension cord and now it works just fine.

Merry Christmas to you!!
