The top-loading NTW4610YQ0 washer lid lock has two main parts. The catch is in the lid on the right hand side. (It's part 8 here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/4iuyzkgib8-001268/amana-ntw4610yq0-washer-parts .) The lock assembly is inside the top of the cabinet in the same area (part 14). (There is a bezel around the lock opening, part 11.) Some of these top-loading washers have a small magnet in the catch. If that has fallen out, you can get the door lock failure. You may also need to check the wiring between the lock assembly and the control board. Look for corrosion on the contacts and check the conductors for continuity. If replacing the lock assembly and catch doesn't solve the problem, then the control board may be faulty. (The control board might not be communicating the lock command to the lock assembly.)

I hope this helps. Another source of the parts and diagram is https://www.partselect.com/Models/NTW4610YQ0/Sections/Top-And-Cabinet-Parts/?ModelID=6786639&ModelNum=NTW4610YQ0&mfgModelNum=&ManufactureID=1&Selected=FFBE4A55BE392F882CA1266B39A1F1C1FB32E669&Position=5&mfg=Maytag&Type=Washer&Mark=5 .

I removed my whole lock switch to my lid on my Amana washer now the lock light switch won’t go off and it won’t fill up with water did I make it worse? I thought if I just removed it from the panel and...

The system needs to know the lid is closed and locked before it will move onto the next stage of the programme - it needs feedback from the lid switch.

I keep getting a error code E10 despite replacing numerous parts on my GE model GFWH2400L0WW front load washer.

this code came up after the door latch was replaced ? did the old part number and the new part number match as they switch over the switching in the switches on different models.also the locking device that locks the washer is the big round valve that has a pipe feeding from the bottom of the drum. its also the the water level sensor tells the washer were the washers water level is. this also has an amount of resistance that tells the door to lock. if its blocked it will either overfill washer or not allow the door to be unlocked. in turn you break the lock off. if you put a new lock on and not fix this part the door will not lock or start.

The lid switch is one thing to check, make sure that it is not loose or broken, IT could also be the water level sensor, they become gummed up with softner sometimes.

Maytag front load washer model #MAH4000AWW. Just happened! Water fills then nothing. Wife says it "seems" like it wants to do something but doesn't

Hi

First make sure that nothing is blocking the drain pump assembly located inside the bottom of the unit, after this test the door lock-switch assembly. If the door lock-switch is also fine then the control board should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
