Can only use delicate cycle
No other functions work. Lights do not come on. Works fine with delicate only.

Hi, we took the top cover off. There are 3 screws in back of top, real easy. Inside was a ribbon cable that plugged into a device in the back as well as other connectors. We unplugged and reconnected them and it worked. We think they either come loose because of vibration or just need to be reseated once in awhile but everything worked after that. Simple. Hope this helps.
Hello, My HE3 was have a problem with the cycle selection. If you wanted heavy duty wash you had to press normal first then heavy duty. Then you could not change temperture or other selections. Pushed in on all the connectors as Ted suggested and that has worked so far. Thanks.
Jon ,
I did the fix Ted suggested and I have not had the problem recur for 3 weeks. I am getting more and more confident that this worked (!) Thanks! This issue was driving me crazy.
I don't have a solution but am desperate for one. I have the same problem but it is intermittent. I might go several weeks with no problems and then "delicate only". This happens *a lot* though. I'd say 20-30% of the time for the past > 6 months. Very frustrating. I've tried unplugging for 30 plus mins but that does not seem to have an impact.

Selector switch
If your washer has a selector switch on the control panel, make sure the button for your selection is pressed all the way in, or set properly.
Drive motor
Many washing machines have multiple-speed drive motors. Though it's uncommon, the drive motor may work fine on one speed but not on another. If the drive motor has failed on one speed, you need to replace the entire motor.
That may be good general advice but it does not apply to this washer. This washer has a continuously variable speed motor that is controlled electronically. And all the front panel controls are momentary contact pushbuttons that set state in the computer controller. There are no "press-and-stay-pressed" buttons, toggle switches, or rotary selectors.
+ Glad it worked for you and you didn't have to use one of your machine guns on it ;-)
