This is a common problem on the front-load Maytag washer, older units only.
The problem is the wax motor (door latch) has overcurrented the washer control board. R11 and Q6 are probably destroyed. You can either call service or, if you know anything about electronics, you can attempt the repair yourself by going to the above site for more information.
