Our 15 year old Maytag washer just failed. It was near the end of a

and now it won't do anything.

We've had the out of balance shutdown a few times over the years but
it always restarted by just turning it off and then back on. Now when
we turn it one it makes no sound -- it does nothing.

And suggestions on what to look at first?

Oh yes, how do I get the cabinet open? I don't see any screws or
buttons or anything to press, pull, twist or unscrew.

Hi,

Model#??

It was near the end of a
spin cycle and I think I heard the out of balance noise, then it quit
and now it won't do anything.

Might have knocked the lid switch out of place or the lid switch
plunger out of place.

Oh yes, how do I get the cabinet open?

No model# posted, but this may help....
