This is exactly what my 2006 MAH6500 starting doing this year. Instead of completing the final spin I would occasionally find it stopped with a LR error code. Manually restarting the spin only cycle would always work.
Problem started becoming more frequent (especially on larger loads) and I ordered a used motor control board from eBay for $60. Maytag went through a lot of revisions so I remember I needed to look for the control board that matched the motor (unless I was going to replace both which apparently Maytag recommended a lot of time.) The part I needed was 62726410. I attached a photo of my original board. The replacement board I got had a slightly different revision number (the AKO number), I think it ended in 05 instead of 07.
As these things go, after I ordered the part the problem stopped happening as frequently so the part sat on the shelf for a few months. Then the problem showed up again so I finally swapped out the board. Mine used part came with the plastic case so two or three bolts on the bottom to remove the existing plastic casing and replace it with the new one was all that was involved. Very easy and haven't seen the LR code since.
