Washing machines, including the Toshiba Inverter 7.5 Kg TW-BK85S2V (WK), suddenly fail to start despite trying every possible solution. This is always a problem that leaves many users puzzled because they don't know how to handle it. Let's explore 4 reasons why your home washing machine loses power through the following article.
1. Unstable power supply
There are many reasons why a good washing machine loses power, but the most common case is using an unstable, erratic power source. If you notice weak water flow or loud noises during use, the device is likely connected to an unstable power source.
Intermittent power supply causing washing machine power loss
Equip your home with an electricity meter to check the stability of the power supply (220V – 240V: stable, below 180V unstable).
To address this issue, you can contact the power center to upgrade the transformer station to increase capacity or use a stabilizer to stabilize power usage.
2. Damaged power cord
It's highly possible that the power cord of the washing machine has been severed, thus unable to connect to the power source. The damaged washing machine power cord may result from the following factors:
- Chewed by rodents
- Strong shaking of the washing machine during operation causing the cord to snap
- Cord impacted by a heavy object pressing down on it

To solve this issue, you should seek to purchase a new power cord compatible with the device to ensure stable operation. Additionally, consider the placement of the washing machine, pest control measures to prevent direct damage to the machine and surrounding electrical appliances.
3. Control panel not responding to commands
Frequent rainy weather and high humidity pose significant threats to electrical appliances. The washing machine may fail to start, likely due to the control panel buttons being damaged because users often place them outdoors without shelter or in the bathroom, leading to easily damaged circuit boards.

Furthermore, improper storage can also cause damage to the washing machine circuit board. For example: using too much detergent causing foam to splash onto the control buttons; placing wet items on the control panel; not regularly cleaning the washing machine,... At this point, you need to contact the warranty center or repair shop to have the circuit board replaced.
4. Washing machine lid is loose
In some advanced washing machine models, the safety washing feature tends to lock the lid before starting the wash cycle. It's highly likely that the lid was left open for too long after pressing the power button, causing the machine to not function.
Securely close the lid before operating the washing machine
Power loss in the washing machine leads to prolonged delay in laundry tasks, greatly affecting the daily lives of the entire family. Hopefully through this article, you will find the cause and new solution for your washing machine or Toshiba washing machine.
