This technique is a simple method to release a stuck Power / Cancel button on the Maytag / Whirlpool premium front load washers that have a chrome housing ring - type of button.

Identify your washer type. The Power / Cancel button may differ with different models. This was my model tag.
-
On my unit the model number tag was found by opening the washing machine door.

The power button contains a gray colored round button actuator in a chrome housing. The words "Power - Cancel" (solid dot between words) are printed above the button
-
Apparently the stuck button was actually caused by the chrome housing/ring being pressed in too far at the bottom or otherwise misaligned. This was not a problem with the actuator itself as I first thought.

-
The simple fix here was to take a metal pick (or other thin but firm tool) and carefully get under the chrome housing (ring) at the bottom and wedge it up or slightly forward.
-
To my surprise there was a slight click/pop that indicated the housing ring was released.
-
Plug the washing machine back into the power source and lightly touch the Power / Cancel button actuator.
-
My advice to avoid this in the future is to more carefully "touch" the center of the gray actuator with minimal force rather then "mash" the whole button during use.

Hello I have a GE front loader and my power went out before it was done it had a minute to go and now it does not want to start back up what do I do and I thought I would unplugged it for a hour thinking it would reset it self but that didn't work
There are some things which can cause this - online they talk about a stuck water valve or a door switch problem. Make sure to completely restart a cycle. There is also a reset process where you unplug the power cord and then hold down the power button for at least 5 seconds after plugging the power cord back in.
Thank you so much, saved me a lot of money and hassle.
I replaced my control board on my Frigidaire washers and I'm getting key stuck message pop up on my screen around two minutes after I turn it on
