I have one those little portable Haier washers that I found at an estate sale. I call it my "mini-basket".
In order to permenatly override the lid switch which is integral with the unbalance switch like a vintage Maytag, I had to take the top off and remove the unbalance bar and tie the two wires on the switch togther. I have no idea how the full size Haier washers operate, but if it is anything like the small machine there is no magnetic switch as it is a vintage style mechanical switch. Which means in order to trip that switch you will need to do some rewiring. | ||

Well I threw away those parts after I removed them from the machine so there isn't much to take a picture of unfortunately.
Let's do this, when you have time take some thorough pictures and post them here, between all of us we can help you do this safely. I have no idea if the machine is similar to the little baby Haier so lets just take it one step at a time. Maybe another member who has this machine has done this already and could help as well. | ||
