Maytag washer stopped working but ligth stays on. Ideas?

My Maytag model LAT8034AAE just stopped working. It filled with water and then stopped. The timer does not advance but the light comes on. I replaced the timer less than a year ago (different symptom then).

So, it is full of water, and no matter what I do it will not turn on although the light does stay on even when the lid is in the upright position.

Any idea what it might be?

Thanks!

Darrin,

If your washer fills up and does nothing after that, no spin even if you move the timer there and turn it on, just a dead washer, one of the first things I would look at is the lid switch assembly....it has 2 micro switches and a glass fuse located in the console. Good luck!
