Maytag update

I posted an ad yesterday wondering if it’s a timer issue. Today I wired the door switch in the closed position so I can see what’s going on while it’s running. I know that’s not recommended. I went through a whole wash except for drying and found that although the washer sounds like it’s washing, there is no water spraying and the soap tray never opened. There was some water at first, I think in the prewash mode. I ran it through again and got no water action at all. The timer did not stick this time. Any ideas?:confused:
Thank you very much.
