I f i opened the lid or turned the switch off it wouldn't come back on again. any i dea what the problem may be

    I had same problem. I called to make appointment and the service man told me to empty the water and seperate the stacked dryer because they will not move them.It is very hard to remove water. I put a small plastic swim pool( trying to protect laminated floor) in front of the door and bailed till I couldn't and then soaked a large tile grout sponge to remove the rest. The warranty was still good so I didn't have to pay but the repairman said it would have cost $1,000 to replace the pump and computer which overheated and fried itself. I purchased a 5 yr warr from Sears for $500 so I hope I get my money's worth from it. I really like the washer and dryer-it's perfect for our small lake cabin!

It sounds like the lid switch might be misaligned.open and close the lid slowly and listen for the tell-tale click. if you don't hear the click then open the control panel and adjust the position.

Pressure switch?

sounds like you are having a syphoning issue. caused by having the drain hose too far down the home standpipe. very common problem. test..fill the machine, high water level. when it stops filling turn off. advance into spin/drain for just a moment and shut off. listen to hear water still going down the drain.
repair.. raise the drain hose nearer the top of the stand pipe. also do not tape/seal the hose into standpipe. it has to breath. good luck. kihm washing machine drain hose installation Google Search

My washing machine model 110.24642300 was washing last night and just stopped after filling half way. what do I need to do

Hi,
Lid switch
If the lid switch is defective, your washer can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washer to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it. 

Some machines have a special lid-switch fuse near the lid switch, inside the control panel. If this fuse blows, the unit won't fill with water until you replace the fuse.

Good luck...

Water fill, discharge and noise problems

to reset the water level you have to turn the knob all the way over as far as it will go and then come back to large load.

I have a Maytag Model MAH8700aww washer

The "nf" code is a "no-fill" fault. This indicates that your washing is not getting water supplied to it, or the pressure isn't substantial enough to complete a fill. You need to, first, make sure the water supply is turned on. Second, if the water IS turned on, and you're still not getting anything to your washer, you may have a fill valve problem. The fill valve is what both your hoses connect to on the back of the machine. It can become clogged with sediment over time (especially, if you have hard water or well water). Turn the water supply off and remove both hoses from the back of the washer. Check both these hose connections for clogs in the filter screens. If they are clear, then more than likely the fill valve has gone bad. I hope this helps you.

Maytag washer

This is similar to a problem I had after my power suddenly went out while the washer was filling with water. When the power resumed the washer would no longer run water... all other systems (agitate, drain, spin) worked fine.

A 10 minute, $113 dollar service call revealed that there was a fuse inside the front upper left area that had blown. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front panel to get access to the inside.

Check it out and replace it if necessary.
