Maytag mvwb880bw0 DU error code

We got a Maytag mvwb880bwo (unsure of the age) washing machine for free on craigslist. I plug it in & it flashes DU, flashes lights around knob & beeps 3 times over & over. Under the front of the lid there are some wires that have been cut with a jump wire between green & white. Also present are red, black, brown & blue wires. I assume this was where a door lock or something used to be. I do not have the missing part. I don't want to start buying parts I don't need. Also I don't want to dump money into it without knowing what's all wrong with it & how much it will cost to get it running.

I am trying to run the diagnostic tests to find out what is all wrong with it / why they gave it away. I can't get it to go into diagnostic mode. Is there a way to bypass the door switch or whatever that was? Or clear the codes? So I can get in diagnostic mode?

There is no tech data sheet in the front panel.

Lid will not lock in manual tests

Greets -

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with my wash cycle using the manual tests. When I try to activate any of the spin and agitate cycles, the locked light does not show. I did the lid lock test and it verifies that the lock is activated. Any suggestions?

GE Washer not spinning

Been through many troubleshooting recommendations.
Open and closed the cover 10 times after power up - didn't reset motor.
Blew air into pressure valve and hear switch click so i think good there.
No blinking diag lights on motor - so questioning if thermal fuse is blown.
Read that some newer GE units, same model, don't need the fuse, and they don't even sell them anymore.
Does anyone know if i can just remove it(bypass)? I'm assuming it was there for a good reason, but maybe not.
I am hoping that is the reason the motor is not working.

WM2801HWA LG Washer Shakes Wobbles Spin Start

Have a washing machine that agitates fine but shakes violently when the spin cycle starts and spins fine after it gets up to speed. I can see the medal drum get close to the rubber during the wobble and it goes away after it speeds up. I replaced the shocks with new ones. What is the troubleshooting logic?

WM3470HWA LG Washer no longer turns on

Long time member
It seems our washer will no longer turn on. A month ago it did the same so I flipped the breaker and it worked. Then a few weeks ago did it again, just never turns on (no power lights, nothing). I went and switched the washer dryer plugs around to different outlets, it worked. Now today the washer will not power up despite flipping the breaker and switching outlets.

I am suspecting it’s the circuit board.....
BTW, I don’t think the breaker or switching outlets did anything (lol) but worth a try right?
