Sorry but those switches can't be jumped. You'll have to replace it. Ebay is s good place for cheaper prices.

The black or brown connection block on the motor should be color coded to match the harness. If not you will need to remove the control panel and find the service guide sheet. This will give you the wiring diagram for the whole machine.

SOURCE: how do you replace left lid lock on Maytag Neptune washer

Problem may be with door switch and not the door lock. If you are able you could try to locate the switch and jump the two wires together to see if the od code goes away. Even if it works you should not leave it that way but get a new switch and replace the faulty one.

Is there a white or black connector that clips on the motor switch? it should be an easy unplug and plug the new motor in.

I dont of any Manufacturer that uses single wire connectors any more.

Are you sure you got the correct motor?

green and yellow is earth so wire the earth wire to this. brown is live in and blue is neutral in. brown/white is live out and blue/white is neutral out. usually a suppressor capacitor has a diagram printed on it

Wont start

it seems that the lock is stuck or broke. Try to see if u can move it by hand. if not u may need to remove the switch while doing this make sure the wires were connected and not loose. your ? does not say the type of washer u have. mine is a whirlpool deut and I took off kick panel on front bottom of washer and was able to reach the switch when I replaced mine. u can get a new switch at applianceparts.com

This can be due to two issues, it can be that the door lock switch is faulty, remove the door lock and check the reset switch.
Also check the drain pump, filter, clean and reset.
