Hi,
Without the model number it's difficult to be specific,
but, often the soak programme essentially stops to allow the soaking to happen.
If it is that kind of cycle, you will need to manually advance the timer or push the start button, to progress the cycle after you think it's soaked enough.
Best of luck
Dawntm,
It is possible that you have a timer issue since you say you are having to manually advance the timer. There is a small motor mounted on the timer that normally advances the timer and for some reason, possibly a burned contact, it is not advancing from that point. You might need to call in a repair tech. Hope this helps!
This is usually caused by a bad lid switch. Whirlpools are known for lid switch issues. If the lid switch is not telling it that the lid is closed, it will not spin. Look where the lid switch is and press on the lid directly above it -- it may start. This will prove it. You can find an exploded view (and get the part) at www.appliancepartspros.com
Either the wire going to motor for non working speed is loose or damaged, or motor is bad. It could also possibly be timer not sending power to motor for that speed.
there is a coupling between the motor and transmission that has cracked. with the crack in the coupling the transmission cant spin as fast as the motor causeing the loud noise. replace coupling to solve problem
