I have a Maytag Front load washer model MAH4000AWW, that been pretty dependable for 7 years. This morning my wife started a load of clothes and as I walked threw the laundry room I smelled what seemed like a electrical burning smell. The smell was coming from the washer, but it seemed to be working fine. Well after the cycles completed I opened the door and noticed the clothes were still wet. So I turned the time to the spin cycle and turned it on, unit seemed to rotate, but the spin cycle never engaged, I also noticed the door lock light was not on and I was able to open the door while in operation, the door lock didn't engage. This problem seems identical to bpcolll problem posted 8/3/07. I would like to do the repairs myself but don't want to permanently disable the wife's Neptune. I need the steps, do I replace the control board or can I just replace the resisters? Or is it the lock switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should I just have a service tech come out at 69.00 to tell me it's broke! Thank you in advance.

If you find the R-11 resistor burnt up I would replace the board and forget about trying to repair it.
