You have some kinda something stuck in your drain pump. The computer that controls your washer has detected that it's taking too long to pump out and therefore refuses to spin in order to quickly drain.
Now this will take alot of work, but it'll save you a couple hundred, OK? First you have to get as much water out of the washer as possible. Fortunately on the Maytags you can do this fairly easily. Use a garden hose and connect it to the end of the drain hose (from the washer)... use duct tape to secure it. Then run the garden hose outside and make sure it's downhill. Now take the corrugated drain from your washer and lower it below the base of the washer. This will drain it completely.
After the water has drained, pull the washer away from the wall... enough for working space. AND DON'T FORGET TO UNPLUG IT! Remove the rear panel (4 screws) and you'll see a big pulley in front of you.To the lower left, you'll see the drain pump. It's mounted to the base of the cabinet. Use a 5/16" to remove the hose clamps then remove the hoses. Then remove the wires that feed the pump. When that is done, you should have the pump in your hand.
Now that you have the pump in hand you'll see the pump housing (it's white). There are three screws holding the pump housing to the motor. Remove them and separate the 2 parts. Now you'll see the cause of the problem.
Remove the stuff and rebuild the unit in reverse order and you're good to go.
