Maytag dishwasher shuts off during cycles

check with a volt meter if you are getting power to the machine where the wire hooks up to the washer. it that's ok then I would check the door latch if it is not closing like it should you may have a problem with the latch switch. I had an whirlpool that happen to and I replace the latch and it worked with no more problem

I would find the electrical breaker for this unit and shut it off for a minute, then re set the breaker thus resetting your unit.

Warn out close sensor arm. Locate it on door and put a small sticky pad on it to push sensor switch a bit farther. If that works, the adjusting the sensor switch position may be necessary.

Please see the following Whirlpool / Maytag service manual for Neptune washers.

On page 3-1 the manual explains that if the washer shuts off during the spin cycle, the problem points to a weak spring in the door lock mechanism.

"Shuts OFF In The Middle Of The Spin Cycle:
During the spin cycle, the machine control
monitors the door lock mechanism to ensure
the door is locked. This is done through the
door lock enable switch. During "lock mode,"
the shaft of the door lock mechanism is
pressed forward by the door lock wax motor,
and the shaft presses in the button of the door
lock enable switch. If the machine control
board sees the switch OPEN during the spin
cycle, the machine control board will automatically
shut the washer OFF. This is caused
by a weak spring in the door lock wax motor.
Replace the complete door lock mechanism.

There is a loose or semi broken wire in the door harness or the door switch needs adjusted.

Have someone replace your bad door switch

possibly door lock not latching could be a bad wax mtr (within door lock asm) or control board

open panel at rear of control panel usning phillips head and 5/16 the board attached to that panel will probably have a burnt r14 r1 or r21 resistor. this has been an ongoing problem with this model even a class action lawsuit.(lawsuit expired 9/2005) you can change the board but this will eventually happen again maytag directs you to do a full conversion kit rebuild about $400.

It could be the impeller on the motor. The impeller fits over the shaft of the motor and might have split/broken up. That funny noise is probably the shaft spinning inside the damage impeller. Fortunately the impeler is fairly inexpensive and easy to replace. I believe there are one or two parts/covers to remove that are held in by a roughly half dozen torx screws.
