The MHW3505FW shares its layout with the rest of this Maytag family, so the diagnostic order is familiar: the door lock, the pump filter and how level the machine sits, then behind the lower access panel. Reading the plate first avoids the common problem of a part that fits the family but not the build.
Stick to wiping the boot dry, leaving the door ajar and clearing the filter and switch the appliance off at the breaker before looking at anything. Internal diagnosis needs meters and training.
