"Cause 1

Lid Switch Assembly

The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer may stop mid-cycle. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

Cause 2

Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly

The door lock secures the washer door shut during operation. Once the washer door is closed, the washer can begin operating. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch prevents the washer from operating. If the door lock is defective, the washer may stop mid cycle. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Inspect the door lock for damage. If the door lock is damaged or does not latch properly, replace it. To determine if the door lock has failed electrically, consult your washer’s diagram and use a multimeter to test each of the door lock switches for continuity. If one of the switches does not have continuity, replace the switch.

Cause 3

Water Inlet Valve

During the rinse cycle, the water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the wash tub. If the water inlet valve fails, the washer will continue waiting for the water to enter the washer, causing it to stop mid-cycle. To determine if the water inlet valve is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the water inlet valve does not have continuity, replace it."

"@counsell587 , Scott Counsell , You do not state your model # so I will Post some general idea's. Are you getting any error codes on display. 1st link below error codes and possible cause/solution. Link 2 and 3 is how to enter diagnostic mode. By possibly retrieving a code could tell you why it is stalling at 19 min. mark. Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

We are having same issue, however, we do not have a place for a "code" to show up to indicate an error. Our model # is MVWX655DW1. Called Maytag and of course they have no techs on hand that can help you trouble shoot. Thanks for any and all help!
