Sometimes repeated closing of door by pushing around and near control buttons will latch door and engage wash cycle. I sense this may be a door switch issue but not sure how to access.....from inside or outside of door panel?? Please advise...thanks:) Geo

You have to remove the inner door panel by removing the screws around the panel to access the door latch. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG MDB4040AWB \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
