Whatever cycle I choose, the light just flashes and holding the start button does nothing. I've unplugged it for 5 minutes to try to re start it but that didn't work.

The problem might be that the black pin (about 3/8" long and 1/8" in diameter), that normally sticks out of the frame of the washer at about the 2 o'clock position, and which is pushed in when the door closes, has broken off. If this pin breaks off, the washer will not recognize that the door has been closed. In my opinion, the pin is most likely to break when you close the door and the door was not properly aligned with the door frame -- in which case the pin will be sheared off.

Thanks! That was the problem and I managed to fix it:)
Great, glad you got the problem solved.
My problem was not the pin...that was the 1st thing I checked. I unplugged it then plugged it back in and WA-LA...works. :)
thanks it was that pin at 200 oclock
I don't seem to have a black pin....the normal wash button just keeps flashing and won't let me start or choose another type of cycle. It is a Kenmore Elite Ultra Wash dishwasher.

I took a metric machine screw about 1/4 in long and about the same diameter and stuck it in the pin hole. I plan to epoxy it in for a permanent fix. Using a cheap, too small diameter plastic instead of metal pin is just cheap engineering.
My matching HE3 dryer wouldn't start and it was a bad thermistor. Cut that out and soldered in a solid wire. Permanent fix for both machines.
As Charles F. Kettering, past president and engineer at GM said: "Parts left out cost nothing and cause no service problems".

Stan Sexton you should show us how to do this on a video on youtube!!
My black pin was not the problem. I solved the problem using a short #20 metric bit from my screw driving bit set and I tightened all the screws in the washer's door, the door latch and the hinge. Then, I unplugged the washer and plugged it in. It restarted on the second try. Thanks for your help.

We got it working!!!! Our family washer would blink on whatever cycle we would put it on. I dont know what it was but my mother and i just cleared out all the dust around and by the lock on the lid, where it says no liquids and pressed on the lock and it worked when we closed the lid for it to start.

The Door Switch Assembly is available here http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/D... and the strike is here http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/S...
Thanks for the link oldturkey03. But what a scam. $65 for the assembly... seriously? Its a mechanical limit switch, nothing more. This problem is ripe for a simple fix, probably with a 45 cent nylon screw from the local hardware store, some epoxy and a little ingenuity.
My hot point washer will not spin, but I see a red light blinking for blinks at a time help please

My black pin is broken off too. Someone recomend I fix it with sticking a piece in there with duct tape. It works but have to readjest the pin every single load, sometimes several times, just to get it to work, so it is not a reasonable long term option. Any idea what that black pins part number is so I can order on and replace it?

How do you replace that small 3/8" x 1/8" pin? I believe that Mayer referred to in the accepted answer. Mine broke off recently and I found it before it could roll under the washer or dryer.
mine is also the pin. Where do I buy a replacement piece? I used pipe cleaner and duct tape to get mine working again.
In my case the pin is ok, not broken I checked it out, the cycle light is flashing on whatever cycle I choose but machine won't start, it has happened yesterday. I also unplug it from power outlet for more then 5 mins, it was unplug over night. any sugestion please.

I have the same problem, how did you sort it out ? Or anyone can help me ?
I'm having same problem
the door plate itself is fine on our machine.
Need to test the switches and other electronic components, but the door plate is definitely not the root cause of our issue.

We have no black pin= wish we could add pictures here. My pause/Cancel keeps flashing all four lights on my sears kenmore front load washer and just won't start. I have unplugged to reset it- sometimes that works and sometimes that does not but I have to climb on top of the washer each time to get behind it to the plug which is not in an easy place to reach.
We have no black pin- we have no pin at all. We have a door clip in the inside right of the door at 3 oclock- it's white and nothing wrong with them.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this? What is the cause?

This is my issue also.
did any one fix the flashing lights with the door clip o got the door to lock but no water seems to go in the system and sounds like its trying but nothing happening ???
Washer won't start. I have to unplug & plug it back in at least 3x's and see a spark in the outlet for it to come on? Any ideas on what the problem could be?

That may be a short. Look for burned or blacken wires or spots ob the circuit board.
My Kenmore dryer started doing the same thing. Lights blinking no start. The pin was still good. Then I noticed that the door hing screw on the bottom was loose. The screws on the door were tight and the upper screw was fairly tight. I tightened it up, shut the door and it started right up. If it happens again I will put some lock tite on the screw.

I must have a different unit. There was no black pin.
But, there is a push button switch, that is on the right side of the washer, that the door latch pushes in...to close the limit switch.
Unplug machine.
Steps-Remove the 2 plastic covers that face you when the door is open. Then remove the 2 Phillips/5/16" nut driver head screws...1 left side, 1 right side, put them in a lid<do not loose you need them.
Next, Access the back, there are 2 round headed, pan head machine screws, one each side...to see which ones, gently tilt upperwards the machine cover. The screws are on a plastic tab.
After screws are out, tilt the upper assembly from the front.
There is a red string, gently pull it.
I sprayed a little WD-40 into the switch and pushed it till it stopped sticking closed.
Next time, I will wire around the switch. After I figure out if it is normally open or normally closed.

When we push a button, all the lights for that cycle flash quickly (faster than normal). We were already aware of that black pin and had replaced it several years ago. It seems to be properly aligned. Any other ideas?

It worked perfect for me. I found a small broken black piece on the floor. I slowly put it back in and closed the door. It then started. How do i replace the broken bkack pin? I'm assuming part of broken piece is stuck inside.
