It may have tossed the drum off the rollers. To fix this, you need to take a look at the drum rotation assembly (the rollers that hold the tank you put your clothes in viewed from the outside after removing the back cover) that could be a combination of fan belts and rollers or just rollers that are engaged to spin or agitate the wash cycles. I had the same problem and had her back in line in about 30 minutes of taking the back off, figuring out why it wouldn't spin and setting it back on the caster rollers to function. It's pretty easy to see, good luck!

Out of balance switch will not stop washer when load becomes out of balance.

Your switch is bad. You don't necessarily need the switch. Snip the wires off either side of the switch and fuse them together with a wire connector.

My Maytag washer keeps stopping during its cycle and if I lift the lit it will restart but once it starts spinning it stops. Its weird cuz somedays i can run 3 or 4 loads with out a problem and other...

On older Maytag washers the lid switch doubled as the off balance switch. If the tub wobbled too much it would trip the lid switch and this will not reset until you open the door. The idea is that when you open the door you will adjust the load so that it is not off balance anymore. I don't know if you have one of the models I am referring to or not but if so this is your problem.

Humming or buzzing during wash and spin cycles.

it's the motor that makes the humming sound..it may have difficulty in starting..when starting like this the motor draws more current and this may cause the windings to burn out..try reducing the load..if the sound disappears then indeed the capacity of the motor is deteriorating...take out motor and clean bushing and lubricate.. also realign belt ..
