I had this problem, and according to the repair guy today, it is the control board. Unfortunately the part is around $200. I had a few other things wrong with mine (and it is only 5 1/2 yrs old), and the total parts were going to cost $550. I ended up going out today and buying another washer.....not a maytag. BTW, if you have clothes stuck in the washer, there is an emergency release cord underneath the detergent dispenser. You will need to remove the dispenser and pull it out....it is a neon green color so it is easy to spot. Good luck.
