Unplug from the mains. Lower the drain hose into a floor drain or a pail. You should be able to open the door. If not, run another quick wash cycle. The level switch should work now.
Hi,
Please reload the washer with dry clothes and attempt to wash them as normal. If the weight is distributed evenly, then the unbalanced-signal should go away once the wash starts.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please try clearing sequences by rotating the cycle dial counter-clockwise a bit before starting a new cycle. The reset should then allow your newly chosen cycle to work.
Thank you.
Hi,
the error relates to a motorspeed sensing error. I would advise you to get the washer serviced via maytag since there are multiple portions breaking down. You can call Maytag to get this done and learn about the actuators potential links to the machine's issues: 1 (800) 344-1274
Thank you.
The plastic spines on the hub plate that connects the tub to the transmission is stripped and slipping.Order a new plastic hub plate.Remove the center cap of the wash plate agitator located on the bottom of the tub.Remove the 11 mm (7/16" bolt) with an impact tool (a must).This will save you a day's worth of pain and grief and worth the $70.00. Spray sometimes rusty metal spline with penetrating oil.screw bolt back on and leave about one full turn loose.Replace cap and run a load of wash.This will break away the rusty spline connection that holds the agitator wash plate on to the transmission.Most any other way tugging on the plastic agitator wash plate will break it (new one for $170).repeat steps above removing the center cap and bolt.Now the round agitator wash plate should wiggle off easy.your will see the plastic hub after removal of the agitator wash plate.Pull out the plastic clamp and unscrew the 6 screws.clean the transmission spline shaft with a metal brush spraying it with penetrating oil.clean and replace the hub plate with new hub plate.rebuild the washer with the same steps as you used to diss-assemble it.You fought the washing machine and you won!Pat yourself on the back!
You will have to call a person that repairs major appliances to have a look and see what the problem is. There could be something wrong with your washing machines controls for the door not to open at all. Or the door latch could be the problem and the motor.
