I have a Maytag MAV6200aww washer. Periodically, I have an issue where the washer will fill appropriately and then nothing else happens...completely unresponsive. Nowhere on the dial will it start back up again...on another cycle, rinse, spin, nowhere. Even after I unplug and plug back in, it does nothing. Occassionally, I smell a burning smell but not every time. The only way I have gotten it to start working again is to bail water from it and and keep trying the main knob until it kicks in again. Or just walk away for a few hours and try again. This has happened on full loads and small loads. Any ideas?

SOURCE: The washer will fill up with water but won't complete the cycle or drain. This has happened before, and I would spin the knob a few times and switch the load size selection. It always randomly started

it sounds like a bad timer there....! if after you selected a different load it drained......!

if it didnt drain at all on any mode I would say a bad lid swtich.

SOURCE: Top loading washer that won't aggitate, or rinse.

without knowing more details, and considering it's age , my guess is that you have a disconnection (or a loose wire) to the solenoids under the tub. these solenoids activate the clutch system that pulls it into agitate and spin modes. it might be the solenoids, but rarely do both go out at the same time. it might be the timer contacts or connections behind the control panel. or, it might be the timer its self.
try unplugging the unit and check all the connections.
hope this helps jay
