If your Maytag washer will not start with clothes in the tub, it may be due to a few reasons. One could be overload. Your washer has a limit to the amount of laundry it can safely and effectively clean. Ensure you are not overloading the machine - usually filling the tub until it's about 3/4 full is recommended.
Another reason could be a faulty lid switch or door lock. Your washer will not start if it cannot detect that the lid is securely closed. If the mechanism is faulty, it may need to be replaced.
Lastly, ensure that your machine is plugged in and the power source is working properly. If these issues persist, it may require professional service.
