I have a Whirlpool Cabrio that is less than a year old. When we try to run a load & press start, the sensing light comes on & nothing else happens... what gives?. any ideas?

Model Number?

Here's where you find the manuals for all Whirlpool products. You probably should start with that. I'd probably need a wiring schematic to trouble-shoot it. The schematic is probably in the top console of the dryer.

If it's less than a year old, it's probably under warranty.
