Our machine has been out of warranty, for a month, and the wash cycle will not start! :mad: The machine will fill, and then, it just sits there. When the cycle is "Canceled", the machine then drains. On a whim, I decided to "re-boot" the machine (unplugged from the receptacle), and the "High Temp Wash" and "Heat Dry" lights flashed, until I hit "Cancel". I don't know if this means anything?! Thanks is advance for your help, it's sincerely appreciated! Greg

It seems we'll be getting this repaired under warranty! With that said, I won't pull the kick plate off, in fear of voiding the warranty. Maybe I wouldn't leave any evidence, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I will return, after it's fixed, and post results. Thanks for your help, Gene!
