Those locks are on a timer that until the wash is complete it does not unlock the unit.
Unlike a normal washer where you can open it at any time and throw in some cloths you may have forgot, this one seems to take up to to minutes after you stop the unit mid wash.
If it is taking more then the 2 minutes then the door lock may be faulty, try unplugging the unit then plugging back in, do not force the door open as this will result in a broken switch.

Good Luck!

Maytag Cent. Washer MVWC400XW3, stuck on SENSING and LID LOCK I replaced the Door Lock and Actuator - still getting the same results as I did before I made any replacments

Unfortunately that error code is for a stuck keypad. It's like the button is being held down constantly. You can replace the control panel or clear error codes and try again, also you need to calibrate this washer after changing parts. If you open the lid and reach between the tub and cabinet at the front left corner, you will find the tech manual.

After pushing start, lid locking light flashes, clicks like it is locking but is not locked and nothing happens but it keeps clicking

Sounds like the lid lock itself is bad, be sure to check the connections at the control board. There should be a tech sheet inside the front panel towards the top left. This can help you check the error codes and wiring diagrams.

My cx3200's control panel reads scanner error. I unlocked the transportation lock, turned off, turned on. It stayed off for about 2 minutes then came right back on. While the error light was off tried to...

The only things that can cause a scanner error on this unit is a complete scanner harware failure or the scanner lock. With the unit on lock the transport lock and unlock it a few times quite forcibly. Then leave it in the unlocked position and power off and on again. If the light returns then at his point I think a new printer will be needed.

Control Locked

Locking controls
The Control Lock prevents unintended use of the washer. You
can also use the control lock feature to prevent unintended cycle
or option changes during a cycle. When CONTROL LOCKED is
lit, all buttons are disabled. You can lock the washer while it is
operating.

To lock the controls
Select and hold END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds.
The CONTROL LOCKED status light glows.

To unlock the controls
Select and hold END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds until the CONTROL LOCKED Status light turns off.
