Sorry to hear about your issues.  My front loader (a Kenmore) leaks out the front door all the time.

The LR code stands for "locked rotor".  It means the machine has tried to turn the rotor but can't.   This link shows the error code descriptions and tests that can be run: error codes

From what I understand this is not something you can fix yourself.  I recommend having a different local Maytag certified tech come by who can look at it.   A different local repair guy might give you the straight dope on the issue.  Make sure that who ever it is is reputable.
