																	Front loaders have a locking mechanism to avoid opening the door during a washing cycle but occasionally this lock will be activated accidentally. 
																	I am not sure if it is the exact same washer but we had a neptune and if the wax motor overloaded it blew the main board. 
																	My maytag neptune washer door will not open. 
																	If the washer will not unlock at the end of a wash cycle unplug the washer or disconnect power. 
															
													
									
		
	
	
		
	
	
		
	
	
		
	
																	This is a guide about unlocking the door on a maytag front load washer. 
																	It is locked shut with a load of clothes in it. 
																	Were you using a fresh hold cycle available on some models. 
																	After the second repair i researched it and had an inline fuse put in the wiring to protect the board if the motor that locks the door overloads.
