The MHW4200BW 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. Revisions under one base number differ in detail, so the plate is checked before any part is quoted.
This one is isolate first, inspect second: power off at the breaker, then wiping the boot dry, leaving the door ajar and clearing the filter, then a technician for anything further.
