If the door lock is faulty, the washer door will not latch in place securely. There are two reasons this may be happening: either the door lock has a mechanical or electrical fault.
Inspect for damage on your door lock and if it is damaged or does not latch properly, you must replace it immediately.
They’re either spring-loaded or power-operated and can also be manual or automatic in style. You’ll need to decide which type you prefer before purchasing one.
Defective Door Lock Motor
One of the most important parts that determine the overall quality of washer machines is the door lock. The door lock is mainly mechanical but has electrical components as well.
Door locks are responsible for ensuring that internal mechanisms work steadily, which ensures that whenever a user presses the start button/cycle stop button, the washing and rinsing cycles run seamlessly without any hiccups or exceptions.
If the door lock fails or shows signs of wear & tear, replace it right away to reap better machine performance.
Faulty Switch Assembly
To test the door lock, use a multi-meter to check if any of the switches in them are not working.
Once you’ve identified that one of the switches does not work, there could be something wrong with the door lock and it might need to be changed.
A problem with the Main Control Board
The main control board is rarely the cause of a reported malfunction.
Before replacing the main control board, first check all of the components of the lock mechanism, including various electrical and mechanical connections, to ensure everything is properly seated.
If the problem persists, you may need to replace the main control board after all.
The door latch assembly might be defective
The door latch assembly might be defective. Inspect the door latch for damage or wear; if it’s torn, rusted, cracked, or doesn’t shut close properly, replace it.
Door Strike damaged
Inspect the door strike assembly for damage. If the door strike is damaged, find a new one that works precisely like the old one. Door strikes are not actually repairable.
If it’s broken, you must replace it with a new model that does its job accurately and effectively.

How do you reset the lid lock on a Maytag washer?
Deactivate the washer’s lock controls by touching the Cycle Signal button on the touch-screen near the LCD control panel.
By pressing “Start/Pause”, you can temporarily halt the current cycle of the washer, and the light under “Pause” will turn on.
Will the washer work without a lid lock?
NO. The lid lock is to prevent injuries to those who are near the washer, since, without the lid lock, the agitator will keep moving when the lid is open.
Why is my washer stuck on the lid lock?
If your control panel does not recognize the lid switch is engaged, then the washer will ignore that indication and will not perform any cycles when you close the lid.
It is possible that your washer will still fill with water whether or not there’s an issue with your lid switch depending on which model you have.
