Hi,

NOTE:Unplug it first..

If you open the detergent dispenser and feel along the front edge behind the removable cup there is a coloured cord usually red or green in colour this in an emergency door release, by pulling on it firmly the door will unlock.

Goodluck..

SOURCE: Maytag Neptune door lock stuck!!!

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.

My washing machine is Neptune. The front door is locked and water is inside with wet clothes.

If you have a Maytag Neptune MAH3000, MAH4000, MAH5500A or a 2000 stacker then your wax motor might be the issue. See www.neptunehelp.com for info on the faulty door latch wax motor and how to fix it.

If unplugging machine does not allow the door to open then remove the 4 philips screws on the soap dispenser bezel ( under lid) and remove it. There should be a colored plastic cord in there you can pull on to unlock the door, It is an emergency pull cord.

MAYTAG NEPTUNE DOOR LOCKED WILL NOT OPEN!

The comment posted 14 may 2009 it what helped me. DO NOT PRY OPEN the door. Find the release cord inside the soap dispenser,,,you may have to remove the 4 screws and lift it from the washer like i did. I had to lean into the door and pull the cord to release the lock. It was not a system error. The washer was over loaded and although the door was closed and locked...the load pushed the door enough to indicate that it was open and would not wash. After opening the door, rearranging the load and removing some, the door closed and latched locked and was able to continue with the wash. DO NOT PRY OPEN,,,use the cord release first,,,this worked for me.

My maytag neptune front load washer won't unlock. I may have to replace the wax motor per so many other blogs. I may be able to get to it in two days. Meanwhile, I have expensive clothes locked inside my...

To Manually unlock the door lock system:

1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove the front lower kick panel.
3. Reach up along the inside of the front panel and locate the bottom of the door latch assembly.
4. Located on the bottom of the door latch assembly is a tear-drop shaped tab.
5. Gently pull the tab down about quarter inch or until a click is heard.
6. The door may now be opened.

My Maytag front end loading washer is stuck locked

Open the detergen/bleach diospenser cover and there is a tab there that you can pull to open the door. You will likely need to replace the wax motor and control board.

Maytag washer

check to make sure the door is locking when it should. If the door isn't locking or sensing that its locked the washer will not go into high speed spin.

Maytag Neptune - door locked, clothes inside, lights are on, no reaction to unplugging and replugging. Help! My work clothes are in there! Thanks a lot.

The manual says that you should push the on/off button to turn off the machin. Wait for 2 minutes for the door to unlock. Then open the washer door.
