Maytag Neptune will not lock

My son forced open the machine while it was locked. Now it will not do anything. It is full of clothes and dirty water. What do I need to do to fix this problem without calling an expensive repair man.

Well after hearing that, the first thing I would do is replace the door lock assembly! Check to make sure the door catch isn't broken. That's the piece on the door that goes into the lock assembly.

Thanks,
Bill
