Check that both water connections (hot and cold) are connected and on. If there's no cold water supply, the washer will just hum when it tries to do a cold water rinse.
Run the washer through a wash cycle (no laundry, though) with very hot water and a cup of bleach. This should remove the mildew and odors from the washer. Just be sure to let it go through the entire wash and rinse cycle. Then leave the lid to the washer open to let it air dry.
rinse them first, then wash them
Does the washer not work at all, or does it just not work when it's trying to rinse? It may be a lid switch. If the washer does not work at all, it may be the timer. Pull the timer from the unit and check to see if any of the "fingers" are stuck, sticking, or burnt. If so, change it. The timer is the "Brains" of the washer... it tells it when to start, cycle, & stop. Sounds to me like this is more than likely your problem. The washer allowed water to be drawn in and then went to "L".
If you have stains from a children's watercolor set, pretreat them and throw the clothes in the washer on a hot water cycle. Adult watercolors depend more on the concentration. If you have very dilute amounts of the paint, just pretreat and throw in the washer. If you have very concentrated paint on your clothes, rinse as much of it away as possible before you pretreat and wash them.
Just rinse the clothes. The soap should wash away in the water. The easiest way to do this is probably to put them in the washer.
A friend of mine did this and it worked so I tried it and it worked for me also. Just put them in the washer and wash and rinse them in COLD water. When they're finished, put them out in the sun to dry. It worked so good I washed two pairs.
I wash mine in the washer on gentle cycle with just a tiny bit of detergent and add fabric softener to the rinse, then put it in the dryer until it's dry. I only use cotton or polyester batting. This will pre-shrink the cotton. I've never had any problem with the batting separating during this process.

Running a dish washer can be enough to make any person cringe. It is the thought of running up a water bill that most people can not stand. There are some smart ways to make use of a dish washer and avoid having to pay steep bills on it. First, only run the dish washer when it is full. Running a partially filled dish washer is one of the leading causes of high water bills in most house holds. Make it a rule that you will not turn on the dish washer until it is fully loaded. Try having some paper plates and plastic forks on hand for those days when you run out of plates or forks. In addition, you may want to invest in some cheaper sets of dishes and utensils. One of the reasons people tend to run their dish washers so often is due to a lack of utensils or dishes in the house. If you have some extra dishes on hand, then you will never be forced to run the dish washer due to a lack of dishes in the cupboards. Some dish washers require a lot of hot water in order to run well. It is heating up the water that ends up running one's water bill up. If you can find a dish washer that requires less hot water, then you will end up saving money over the course of a year. Another way to lower your monthly water bills is to use the "energy saving" cycle on a dish washer. Pay attention to the different cycles that can be used on your dish washer. If you notice that your dish washer has an "economy cycle" or "energy saving" cycle, then be sure to make use of these cycles. Along with this idea, you may want to use the shortest cycle available on your dish washer. A short cycle will often clean dishes just as well as the longest cycle available on a dish washer. After the final rinse has been completed on a set of dishes, be sure to open up the dish washer. A dish washer uses energy even while dishes are drying if it is kept closed. If you open up the dish washer, then your dishes will dry faster and less energy will be used. Following these tips will ensure that you pay less money on your water bill every month.
