Help

I have a new Maytag top-loader HE Washer. The electricity in our area went off for a couple of hours and now my washer won't start. I checked the breaker and also plugged in a lamp in the socket to make sure that I had electricity at the source. The water is on. Is there a re-set of some sort?

Do you have power to the machine? Like does the control panel light up at all? It is possible that there was a power surge and it fried your power source too. That would be my first assumption.
