Why won't it power on

If your Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine refuses to turn on, see the Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine Won’t Turn On problem page for possible causes and solutions.

Well first off is their power at the outlet, if yes then put the timer in the wash cycle mode, now when you pull the knob out or in depending on the model it should start filling with water no matter if the lid is up or down, if there's no sound or water going in then I would suspect it's either the timer on off switch, or the more easier power cord interruption, which I mean if it was stored I'd have to assume that a rodent might have been feeding on your electric wires inside the machine, this would be the first thing I'd chk, it's the most invasive way to find out what's wrong, then I would have to look at the timer, unless this washer has an inline fuse(very doubtful).
