I have a Maytag Neptune top loading machine. I can fill the tub with water and it will pump out all the water fine. But then it keeps cycling trying to pump out more water. After about 5 minutes of cycling it shows the code ND. It will not go into the spin cycle. I completely took the pump apart cleaned it out, although there was nothing to clean out. I blew into the pressure switch and could hear it click up to three times depending on how hard I blew. What is my next step?

The top link is for a service manual, the second link, bottom, is the same but in troubleshooting it addresses ND and what to do as part of troubleshooting and repair.
That error ND means No Drain. the drain pump is accessed from the back.
the ND error code on a digital Neptune front load washer. The ND code means 'No Drain' and it is probably just something caught in the pump. I’ve seen where a coin can get in there and keep the pump from starting.
Some other items known to stop a Neptune pump: Rubber backing from a rug, rubber bands, bobbie pin, lens from a flashlight, tooth pick and a bra wire. Maybe you had something different in your pump? If so, please comment with what you discovered in your pump...
If you have a floor drain you should be able to drop the discharge hose to the floor and let gravity pull the water out so you can take the pump out and get a good look at it.
Also a word of advice to avoid wasting time. The pump is usually towards the front of the machine.

The model number for my Neptune is FAV6800AWQ. It is a top loader. I completely took the pump apart and there is nothing in the pump. I know the pump works because I can manually put 3-4 gallons of water in the tub, turn on the washer and it pumps the water out. Once all the water is pumped out, it starts to cycle and then quits. Sometimes if I wait about 12 hours and turn the machine on again, it will get through that drain cycle but then quits at the next drain cycle.
