I am not familiar with the model but the lid switch typically would have nothing to do with preventing the programmes advancing; the lid switch is typically a safety device to prevent personal injury to the unwary by denying them access to moving parts.

Your description indicates all the aspects of the wash functions are present and working which indicates the problem probably lies with the main controller.

    we are aware of what the lid switch does it was a suggested fix from others thats why we questioned it by main controller are you referencing the entire front panel?

  • Vernon Taylor Jun 07, 2019

    The main controller of older washers was basically an electrically driven mechanical clock/time switch that was behind the large knob selecting the programmes. Later machines used a hybrid system that offered a rotary programme selection but used a fairly basic computerised function control.
    Modern washers tend to be wholly computer controlled with led displays and buttons to select programmes and functions. Similar to modern computerised cars, the first step to the diagnosis of a fault (after the visual inspection and "common sense" cures have been tried) is to connect it to a laptop loaded with the correct diagnostic software.
    As with all computers the proper operation is dependent on the software, software that might be corrupted or damaged by a power outage, for instance...

SOURCE: washing machine refills after spin cycle

Can you hear the pump running if not the machine may be syphoning out, if the outlet is into the down pipe too far this can cause it to syphon. The outlet should only be into it by about 6". The machine will fill with more water on the rince than the wash cycle that will cause the problem. If you can hear the pump running the machine mite be over filling there may a blockage in the presure system if you take the lid off (making sure the powers turned off) you will find a round switch with a thin hose comming off it tace the hose and you should find a small bottle this may be blocked. Hope this helps you.

Maytag fav68ww no matter what cycle it fills washes drains then repeats the process it will not move on to refill rinse and spin

Lid closed safety switch is bad.....it must be in a normally closed condition to go to spin and rinse cycle.....You can jumper the switch........That will allow spin with lid open so be careful..............

Washing Machines will not rinse or spin

If the water won't drain out of your washing machine, either something is stuck in the drain hose or pump, or the pump is broken. Both fixes are simple if you're even just a little bit handy with tools. We're showing the repair on a Maytag washing machine.
What is wrong with a washer that does not spin?
If your washer fills with water but doesn't agitate, the problem is likely to be a faulty lid switch, a broken belt, or a problem with the motor. (Note: Direct-drivewashing machines do not have belts.) To diagnose the problem, do the following: 1Check the washing machine's spin cycle.

What causes a washing machine not to drain and spin?
If the washer won't drain there might be a clogged pump or hose. It's common for small socks or other small clothing items to get into the water drain system and clog the hose leading to the pump or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump in order to remove the article of clothing.

Maytag washing machine washing but not rinsing, spinning or draining

You need to make sure that the switch on the door/lid is making a connection. If the lid is not closing completely, clear whatever is not letting it close. However, if it's closing but still not working you may need to replace the switch. I have had them go bad and not make a connection when the lid closes.

Maytag top loading washer will not agitate

My rule of thumb: Take what you paid for the washer new and divide by number of years without repairs. That is your cost per year for the washer. If the repair will get you another year and is less than the number above do the repair. If you have done more than 2 major repairs in a year it is time to think new. eric

Keeps on filling and wont drain

please follow the steps which i give to find and rectify the mistake (1) First check the wash load/laundry. If it is unevenly distributed in the tub making it unequal, rearrange it, close the lid again.
(2) Make sure your washer is leveled and you have filled sufficient water in the tub for that size of wash load/laundry. Insufficient water can make imbalance.
(3) Make sure the power cord/cable is plugged into the working electrical wall socket.
(4) It is better to check the appropriate circuit breakers or fuse of the fuse box and reset if necessary.
(5) Inspect the drain hoses and remove any bends. Inspect the drain system, too - if it's clogged.
(6) Then close the washer lid and pull out the knob to start it. For your safety, the washer will not spin unless the door is closed.
(7) Excessive foam can also cause this problem. If you find it to be the solution, rewash the clothes with plain water. For future, ensure use of correct amount of detergent with low-foam.
(8) It is possible that the lid switch, that prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open, could be malfunctioning. If that happens, a built-in mechanism – brakes will be applied and washer will stop washer operations until the lid switch is repaired/replaced.
