text: SOLVED: My washing machine filled with water and then - Fixya
  My washing machine filled with water and then stopped dead. It will not run. I have tried opening and closing lid, resetting dial, even unplugging and plugging back in. Nothing. Please advise.

  check the lid switch first, can you hear any "clicking" just before the lid is closed, try opening and closing a few times listening closely for he click, if not sounds like a bad lid switch(not recognizing the lid is closed and for safety reasons will not advance further.(far more common issue hen the timer)
