B-u-u-u-a-a-a-h-h-h, ALL switches can be overridden. You'll recognize this quote. "The more they overthink the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain."
But from the land of almost no twintubs I can't tell you how on that model. Probably a safety concern. Being an agitator instead of a swirlator, can give you a nasty bruise if you stick your hand in. Still wouldn't call for hospital, and you'd only do it once. US toploaders are coming out with door locks too. Government and lawyers deciding what's good for you. Gimme a pair of snips and I can belay their benevolent intentions in less than a half hour. | ||

I got one of these on order should be here soon. If anyone has a way to kill the lid switch please post. If not I will have to get out my magic screw driver and give it a look over. | ||

Is this is the last "Full Size" twin tub being made today? Does anyone make them with metal tubs anymore? | ||

I have a Danby twin tub as well....wish the agitation was faster back and forth action. It sorta drags the clothes through the water one way, then reverses and does the same the other way..kinda disappointed, as this is why I got the agitator model. Flimsy plastic construction, especially the lids. | ||

Flimsy I too felt that the Danby was a little flimsy, I had a 2007 model with the integrated lids. I did however enjoy it, and the wash action, while not what I was expecting (machine could probably have a pulsator in the bottom and work well), it did wash well. I still see the need to reprogram the GENTLE mode as it turns more one way than it does the other. Also if you barely hold the time during an agitation stroke the agitator will continue to spin in whatever direction, which is kinda neat to watch. I gave my DTT-420 to my mother who now has a Haier. It got a button in the pump and the piping is very delicate underneath, most being glued together. It was damaged new in shipping and has a huge dent and gash in it, it now sits in storage.
I still find it neat that a twin-tub is made still though, and I think they are competent machines nonetheless.
