This is a lid switch issue, a easy repair. Should not run you more than $100 to have a tech do it, or $40 or so if your handy

Have a hotpoint aquarius wml540 that is stopping on the rinse cycle, when it stops the rinse light is on and the red lock light is flashing, is this an error code?

WASHER WILL NOT RINSE:
If your washer doesn't go through the washer rinse cycle, the most likely cause is the water valve. What happens is the water valve will stop letting cold water into the washer; therefore, once the washer gets to rinse it will either stop or not do anything during the whole rinse cycle.
This is because when you selected your water temperature, you selected warm/cold or hot/cold. The hot water came in and you didn't notice any problems. When it got to rinse, the cold water the cold water won't come in. Therefore, the washer does nothing.
To check the water valve, first cut the water off and remove the hoses off the back of the washer. Then one at a time point the hoses inside the washer tub and turn the water back on. If you don't have good water pressure, turn the water back off and remove the strainer that should be in one end of the hose. Inspect the strainer to see if it is stopped up, clean it and reinstall it. Now repeat this test. If you have good water pressure now, reinstall hose and your problem is fixed.
If you still don't have good water pressure, the problem is in your house plumbing and you need to call a plumber. If you had good water pressure the first time you performed the test, the water valve is bad and needs replacing.
TIMER
If your washer doesn't go through the washer rinse cycle the timer may be the problem. Sometimes the timer gets stuck in the middle of the cycle or won't turn at all. If the washer runs, but the timer doesn't turn, the timer is bad and needs replacing.
Do you have anti-flood hoses leading to the machine. If you do there is probably a loose tube in the back causing a small leak. When the hoses detect that water is still flowing after a certain amount of time due to the leak it shuts down and causes the machine to turn off during the rinse/spin cycle

Timer stops intermittently during spin cycle

When it stops try wiggling the timer knob if you get it to start most likely have a timer problem not connecting inside the timer. Hope this helps

Washer stopped during rinse cycle.

If possible, you can drop the hose to floor level and gravity will drain the water. You may need a hose extension. The other option is to pan the water out. What is the model number of your unit?

Maytag washer stops after wash cycle for long periods of time

Good day,
If the issue your describing occurs all the time then being brand new it's a warranty issue. It will be covered free of charge.
Call your selling dealer for details on getting a free warranty service call. Sounds like either a motor problem or timer issue, but it's not your problem.

Washer stops during rinse cycle and isn't easily restartable....

Sounds like the contacts in the timer has a problem. Unplug washer. Remove the back of the washer and spray WD40 in the timer. Put towels around and under to to collect excess runoff.
Rrotate washer dial 25 times and spray some more wd40. Rotate 25 times again. Do a wash load. If it works put everting back together.

Shutting down on rinse cycle

Hi this could means that you may need to replace the washing machine bearings. Once the bearings are bad, the motor overheats and it will automatically shut down after the first rinse.
