i am sorry I do not have the time to go true all your code but I think you should look at the part when you close and returns to main window.
My guess is that you have not made any method to clear out the solved maze so it is still there when you returns to main window and want to try and solve a new one. That is why you can solve one maze every time you open up your application because your program then initiates some empty area for the maze to be solved on. So it is probably only this tiny little method you are missing.

Hope this gave you some help.
Good luck

Thank you for ur time and replay. i will try to create method to clear solved maze. thx
