Product review (5 stars): Washer getting stuck between cycles?  Try this first.
My Maytag Bravos MVWX700XL2 high efficiency washing machine was getting stuck between cycles ... usually before the last spin cycle. The timer would hang and the machine would simply not go to the next cycle. The machine was barely two years old.  Before calling a repairman, and after reading a bunch of blogs and DIY suggestions, I tried replacing this part first.  Problem solved.  Took 15 minutes max, and much of that was cleaning up a little water that escaped when laying the washer on its back. Find a youtube video demonstration, grab a scrap towel, and replace it yourself. Easiest repair ever. That was two months ago and no problems since.
