When I start the washer, it just makes a buzzing sound and does nothing else. Is the motor burned out? My wife was doing a load and when it finished the clothes were still soaking wet and then that is when I tried to start the cycle again and the buzzing sound was there.

I have watched my repairman fix my machine a couple of times, and there are no belts in it. However, there is a small part that connects to the motor that breaks, and then the agitator no longer agitates and the machine does not spin.
The test light shows that the outlet is working. But, when I plug in the washing machine it won't run.

Use an extension cord and try another outlet. If your washer still fails to work, it's time to call in someone to repair it.
Sounds like your motor needs replacing. If you have the top loader that is not computerized, and have easy access to the back of the washer, you can change out the parts yourself. A washer is simple in all their repairs, as long as they are not digital, computerized, etc. My last washer was 25 years old when a rusty tub made it necessary to buy new.
I have a Maytag washer model #mhwe500vw11. The start switch makes a beee noise and does not turn on the washer. I replaced the touch pad board and ccu board and it still makes the beeee noise and still won't start. Also none of the lights from the touch pad board turn on!

I have a Maytag 3.6 cu ft high efficiency top-load washer (white) Energy Star model#mvwc360aw. The washing machine doesn't come on. I took off the back panel and there are 3 green led lights lit, but the machine won't come on. What should I do?

Check the troubleshooting section of your user guide manual and follow those instructions first.
Then check to see if something isn't stuck in the area when the protrusion on the washer lid depresses the inset button where lid meets washer - this feature prevents serious harm to the unwary by stopping the machine action when the lid is lifted. If there is 'gunk' or a build-up of lint caught in the inset button it will keep the machine from working.
Also check to make sure the circuit breaker to the machine isn't slightly flipped resulting in the current making an incomplete circuit to your machine - just enough juice to light those led lights and maybe the control panel but not enough to actually start the machine.
There are so many reasons why your machine isn't starting that if the above doesn't help you, you may need to call in a Maytag repair tech. Hopefully the machine is under warranty and the problem is something the warranty covers.
When I try to start my washer, I press start, the door locks, the water starts to come for 2 seconds and then it stops and nothing happens again. I try to start it again and nothing happens again. If have to leave it for a certain time it does the same thing.

It has something to do with the door lid. I usually leave it for a few minutes to give it time to completely stop the cycle. Open and shut the lid and mine goes back to normal. If your does not, it may need to be repaired.
My Maytag Neptune was running; then the power went out and now it won't restart.

My Maytag washing machine won't power up at all. It happened when the power in my house went off and back on again. Nothing displays on the screen.
By Max
There may be something that needs to be reset like a switch. Do you have a manual? Check it and see what they say under troubleshooting.
I have just bought a brand new washing machine, it is a Maytag. I have plugged it in and it won't turn on at all. What is the problem ?

Suggest calling the store where purchased or the manufacturer.

I have a Samsung front load washing machine. When I turn it on all I get is a humming sound. I can turn it by hand easily. Any help would be appreciated.
Check that all the exterior panels are properly in place. There are safety switches on some panels to prevent the machine from moving when they aren't. If this isn't the problem, turn off the water supply and remove the hoses from the machine.
