My maytag neptune washer door will not open.
Maytag neptune washer door lock.
Be very careful hacking that door.
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.
It is locked shut with a load of clothes in it.
When using one of these cycles the door will remain locked until the cancel button is pushed.
If the washer will not unlock at the end of a wash cycle unplug the washer or disconnect power.
Were you using a fresh hold cycle available on some models.
This is a guide about unlocking the door on a maytag front load washer.
Front loaders have a locking mechanism to avoid opening the door during a washing cycle but occasionally this lock will be activated accidentally.
