    Unhappy [FIXED] Maytag Maxima X Door Lock light Blinking

    Model Number: MHW4200BW1
    Brand: Maytag
    Age: 1-5 years

    I have a Maytag Maxima X have had exactly 1 yr. i forgot to turn the water valves
    on when doing a load now the washers door lock light blinks no other lights will come on
    and the washer sounds like it wants to run when i plug it in but will only shut off when i unplug it.
    Did not get any codes off it because i forgot and shut it off before looking at the codes.
    Checked to see if the water hoses were blocked but found nothing. I did manage to get the door
    open by taking the top off and releasing the lock from inside but if i close the door and plug in the
    machine it locks the door again.

    What happens if you let the washer try to run through a cycle?

    Doc,
    Not sure how to let it run through a cycle if none of the lights are on it wants to run even when the water valve is shut off just makes a noise as if its
    trying to get water to the machine but no water goes through and the drum wont turn automatically or anything wasn't sure if leaving it plugged in would burn the machine out because it seems to want to run.


    Doc i did let it run until it shutoff it fixed the problem thank you so much for your help.

    Great, I am glad that took care of the problem. I have updated the status of this thread to FIXED. Sometimes you have to let these washers finish what they are trying to do before they will work correctly.
