When a Whirlpool washing machine displays a flashing "Sensing" indicator light and refuses to start the wash cycle, it indicates that the control board is waiting for a required safety or input signal that is not being registered. The most common culprits include an unlatched lid switch, closed water supply valves, or an unbalanced laundry load. First, open and slam the lid closed to engage the safety switch. Second, check that household water valves are fully open. Third, unplug the unit for two minutes to clear electronic errors. You can troubleshoot control interlocks easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when resetting power or fixing the lid switch stops the flashing sensing light and allows the machine to fill and begin washing.
