Could a failing Shift Actuator cause the MAYTAG MVWP575GW to have symptom: Not Moving?

The shift actuator is responsible for physically moving the splutch assembly into the correct gear and monitoring the basket speed via an internal optical tachometer. If the internal motor fails or the plastic cam breaks, the machine cannot transition into the agitation phase, and the control board will abort the cycle. This is the primary point of failure for 'no movement' symptoms on Maytag VMW platforms.

Could a failing Lid Lock Assembly cause the MAYTAG MVWP575GW to have symptom: Not Moving?

This model requires a confirmed 'locked' signal from the lid latch solenoid before the control board allows the drive motor to energize for agitation or spin. Mechanical wear on the strike plate or electrical failure of the internal solenoid prevents this handshake, resulting in a machine that fills with water but refuses to initiate movement.

Could a failing Drive Belt cause the MAYTAG MVWP575GW to have symptom: Not Moving?

The drive belt provides the physical link between the motor pulley and the transmission pulley. If the belt has snapped or stretched significantly due to high-torque commercial loads, the motor may spin freely while the agitator remains stationary, effectively severing the mechanical drive train.
