My WF45H6300AG/A2 washer powers on normally and I can select a cycle and press the start button normally. The machine then hums for a few seconds (the drain pump, I assume), then nothing else happens. The cycle timer doesn't count down and it just sits there like it's not getting a signal to move on to the next step. The door never locks. The "Garment +" icon shows in red on the display. There is no error code. (I did get an 8E error once, but that was just one time out of around 15 attempts, so it could be a coinicidence.) I have already tried unplugging the machine, checking the hoses for clogs, cleaning the filter, and checking for loose wires and connections inside the back panel.
I've seen a couple of similar posts here, but there has been no verified solution. Recommendations have included replacing the main control board, the door lock mechanism, and the Assy sensor. I'd like some guidance before I start randomly replacing parts. I don't know if this is relevant, but the metal pin/latch on the door that fits inside the body of the washer itself when you close the door is loose and jiggles. Is that normal or could it be a sign of a faulty latch?
