Try these steps:

1.) Take the washer outside. 2.) Loosen the two screws on the back panel and remove the back panel. The pump sits on the left-side of the opening. There's a black water hose with a metal clamp; 3.) squeeze the metal clamp with your fingers until it's loose enough to slide away from the pump. 4.) Separate the hose from pump and the trapped water will pour out and the door will then open; and 5.) clear any blockage from the drain hose and the pump.

It is probably the control panel on the washer. A common problem. You can actually repair it yourself with a kit and also you will need to replace the wax motor or you will have the same problem over and over. Once the wax motor is replaced it should not happen again but in the meantime you have two components on the control board which you can replace with basic soldering (sp) skills. You can actually view a free instructional video on line - if you search wax motor you will find the site

Hello, welcome to fixya.

Based on your post I understand you have a "F21" error problem with a Maytag washer, the error on these units built by Whirlpool (such as yours) means an excessive drain time or excessive suds was detected as you may or may not already know.

If you follow the link to my solution to this error designed specifically for "do-it-yourselfers" you should be fixed up in no time. (It's much quicker for me than pasting or retyping the complete solution several hundred times, that's how common this is)
