But start there anyway. And incidentally, not a good idea to have some other than the washer on the circuit. Just saying.

Also, while I agree it is not the best idea to have more than one item on the same circuit as the washer, I did try the washer with them both unplugged, and it still did not work.

Also the concern with something other than the washer on the circuit is safety, not that it would cause the washer not to work. In many areas the electrical codes specifies a dedicated circuit for the washer, and also with a dishwasher.
