Hi, I'm no expert by any means but I also have a Maytag (you can see it in my earlier posts) when I first got it the same issue was happening. The lid switch is decieving as it clicks twice. On mine I pushed the plunger part at the back centre of the lid further in with my finger when the lid was closed and it kicked into action. If this works unplug everything and remove the control panel (it just tilts forward after removing the screws) inside somewhere behind the plunger arrangement there is a switch held in place with two screws. You should be able to loosen the screws and move the switch assembly forward to make better contact. You'll notice then that the lid clicks twice, once when the plunger engages and again when the switch engages (usually only allows you to open the lid about an inch before it stops agitating or spinning. As you say, it will fill fine but just won't do anything else.
Might not be the case but worked for me. Good luck 👍 |
