The door lock light is blinking on my front load Maytag Maxima. This is all it will do. This happened when I forgot to turn the water on. First it had a code blinking that I looked up and it was for the water, so I turned it on and now it is making a humming noise and the door is locked and that is all it will do. The only way to stop it is to unplug it. Does any one know how to fix this problem? I have only had this washer for about a month.

Suggest you call the company who sold you the machine or the manufacturer for help.
Sorry for your problem. I too had the same problem with our BRAND NEW 1 WEEK OLD Maytag washer. Wife did a load night before and went down next day and door was LOCKED ! Finally figured it out from online that you simply unplug it for 1 minute and it resets the computer.
I had a similar issue with my Maytag Maxima. No lights or codes would turn on except for a blinking "door locked" light. If I unplugged it for 60s and waited for the light to turn off before plugging it back in, it would attempt a drain cycle but it sounded slow and wouldn't complete.
I removed the back panel of the washer to access the drain filter, located underneath the drum on the drain pump assembly and is twisted out by hand. The filter was completely clogged with dog hair and a bra cup.
Easy fix, but I wish the filter was easier to access since it appears it's something I will have to clean regularly. Make sure you have plenty of shallow dishes handy, to fit under the filter upon removal, and towels available before removing the filter. Lots of water can still be left in the machine and cause a mess.
