You will have to call a person that repairs major appliances to have a look and see what the problem is. There could be something wrong with your washing machines controls for the door not to open at all. Or the door latch could be the problem and the motor.
Much better! Question edited for clarity, but not so much as the last one :>D
Check the switch operation with a multimeter. You are testing for continuity with door open and no continuity with door closed or vice versa depending on how they wired it.
Or you have a failed control board or a bad capacitor on it. The dim lights are the clue on that one.
Test the thermal fuse on the side of the heater housing. It should read closed for continuity. If open, you will need to replace the kit. Here is a link to the kit you need.
One or more of the tub suspension rods or dampening straps could be damaged. Does the tub bounce smoothly, if you push it down and then release it? This checks the suspension rods. Other parts related to balancing the tub include the suspension pads, springs or balance rings. (The washer will usually squeal and shake badly, if the tub bearing is failing.)
The washer shuts off to avoid damage additional damage to the washer.
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model number of the washer, if you need a parts diagram to show where to look for these parts. The model number may be on the machine in one of these places: on the back behind the control panel, inside the lid on the bottom right corner, or on the back of the washer on the base frame on the left.

No, drain it. Just remove the drain hose from the clip at the rear and low the hose into a pail or cooking tray. Gravity will do the rest. Make sure it is always kept upright unless you have the transport brackets.
Is this for the Maytag Maxima, or something else? All questions should have 'make model (what it is)'. We see 75% of questions posted to the wrong categories.
The easiest way to reset a Maytag washer is to disconnect the power to the washing machine for three minutes. Disconnecting the power allows the electrical charge to dissipate from the washing machine, which allows it to reset. If the reset fails, unplug the washer again, this time leaving it unplugged for ten minutes.
