Why does a Maytag Neptune washer stop after a few seconds?

[Edit]

Answer

The washer pauses to allow the clothes time to be thoroughly wetted and balanced. You will notice water being added a little at a time, the machine then turns a few cycles to mix the water and clothing. The pause allows the clothes time to be wetted through and makes for a balanced distribution of weight.
