Hi.

Unplug the washer.
To open the door - remove three screws at the rear of the top, slide it 1" back and lift. Locate the door lock on the right, reach to the bottom of it and pull the ring down.

Then find this part - filter emitter and check if it gets 120v to it and through it. Bypass it - it's no longer available.

The filter Part number: 34001330

Hi.

Did you open the link with the diagrams and parts breakdown?

Did you pull out the washer and looked at the back?

To check the voltage you need a multimeter. I send you the picture of the filter so when you open the top you will recognize the part.

To bypass means to connect the corresponding wires without the filter.

To find out why the filter is not available you need to contact the Maytag.

Here is the door latch, the ring is at the end, you could find this info at the parts breakdown link if you open it.

The latch Part number: 8182634

To get to the washer remove the dryer.

Hi.

You may get the estimate over the phone with several companies. Let the repairman give you the exact opinion on this matter. I already gave you mine. He will have to check the parts and then let you know what is the problem.

Thank you.

Simon.
