I Have A Maytag Centennial Washer Model Mvwc400xw0 That Is Not Working Properly.

I have a maytag centennial washer model mvwc400xw0 that is not working properly. Machine will power up. I select a cycle and press start. Lid locks (solid red light) and sensing light comes on. After a few seconds, I hear a short buzzing sound. Lid unlocks and red light goes out. Lid then locks back, red light comes back on, and then there is a longer buzzing sound. After that, lid lock light flashes and nothing responds. Lid is locking. No water is coming into machine.
