Washer Repair in Highland Park, IL
A blank control panel and an illuminated panel that will not start should be reported separately. Highland Park customers can use this guide to prepare a clear washer power complaint without opening the cabinet.

Practical problem guide
No lights, or lights with no response to Start
With dry hands and a dry surrounding area, check only normally accessible controls. Look for Control Lock, Delay Start or a paused program. Follow the manual’s required Start-button procedure rather than repeatedly pressing every key.
If the entire display is dark, note whether there was a power outage or a household circuit problem. Do not pull the washer out to reach a plug, use an extension cord or probe the outlet. A breaker that trips again needs investigation; repeated resetting is not a repair.
Stop using the washer if a cord, plug or outlet appears damaged, or if you notice heat or a burning smell. A technician needs to distinguish an appliance fault from a household supply issue before a control board or start switch is blamed.

Questions about this problem
Does a blank panel prove the control board failed?
No. Power delivery and connections must be considered before a board diagnosis. A dark display identifies the symptom, not the part.
Can I test it on an extension cord?
No. Major appliances should use their proper installed supply. Moving the problem to an improvised connection introduces risk and does not provide a sound diagnosis.
