I have a Whirlpool AWM 219 and have a problem with the washing
controller. When I start the wash it fills up with water but then
nothing happens - it does not start the washing cycle.

I have to switch through to Drain and then the door opens. Any ideas
on this if it is the controller or anything else or is it bye-bye
washing machine?

Hi,

UK style WLP, I am unfamilier with this style of a washer, but one of
the UK links may help....

first need to determine if electronics are sending signals. does the
timer continue on even tho nothing happens? if not, start there. check
voltage at agitator motor. if none, find why = prob electr switches.
if voltage but no agitate (or spin) it is prob mechanical.
paininthe... job but ima a diy guy so i'd go for it.... good luck
