When a modern Whirlpool top-load or front-load washing machine gets stuck continuously in the "Sensing" or "Fill" mode without starting the wash cycle, the malfunction is typically caused by a faulty lid latch switch, clogged water inlet valve screens, or low household water pressure. First, lift the lid firmly and close it again to ensure the physical safety latch clicks shut. Second, check that the hot and cold water supply valves behind the machine are opened completely. Third, perform a hard power reset by unplugging the unit for two minutes. You can troubleshoot water supply easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when resetting the power, cleaning inlet screens, or securing the lid switch allows the machine to transition from sensing to filling and washing normally.
