I normally post in the "Imperial" forum, but believe the washer/dryer in question is circa 1990s. I just purchased a Maytag stacking washer/dryer model LSE7800ACW and would like to know the year of manufacture. Not sure since I collect much older machines. Just installed in my summer home and am curious of the vintage. Thanks and hope someone can please help me. Todd

Todd
it would help more with the date if I had the serial number as well I have a LSE1000, with the sliding lid, removed the plastic tab from the lid, and just for storage re-attached it backwards on the lid..... then underneath, I wrapped tape around the regular lid switch, leaving the locking mechanism alone and re-assembled the whole unit.... now this did disable the tub light, but no big deal at this point.....I could rewire it with a switch.... one nice thing also, is this model has a seperate out of balance switch located on the side of the tub....so as not to defeat it.... | ||

it did puzzle me as to the sliding lid....most of the "dial" machines had a lift lid, and orbital wash.....could be an in-between model......
never did understand why the lid lock, no other Maytag had one....and as the regulars, once you slid back the lid, all operation stopped.... JohnL has one with the tub light built into the slanted access panel, push on/off.... | ||

Wow, thank you all for your responses, and happy to see familiar "faces" in this forum. Serial # A5118378 H8. My machine has knobs, no electronic control. I, too, was surprised with the lid locking feature. I'm thinking about tackling the wiring for the lock and lid switch, bypassing and disabling the entire mechanism. One thing I can say for this unit, it is really quiet, and deceptively larger capacity than it appears.

Hey, Todd!
Your machine was born in January, 1993. (That's a H & B at the end of the serial...) I'd have posted a wiring diagram but AT&T seems to be having an issue right now where a 'software issue' in the Reno center has disrupted landline and cell phone service and also all but wiped out DSL Internet service for the greater western Nevada area starting about 5pm yesterday. I'm functioning on a iPad using cellular but the shop computer with the schematics can't access the net. I'll try later. AT&T says maybe by late tonight. Uh huh...

take the plastic toggle off the lid, and reverse it for later use should you wish to change it back.....this will allow you to slide the lid at any time
and wrap tape around the lid switch, and re-install.... there is a lot of components in that area, but all I did was put everything back, and it works fine...nothing to it | ||

LAZY WAY
I have the same maching as Martin at my shore house what I did was
take the plastic lid lock and stick in the lid lock hole and duck tape it in the lid lock hole with about 2 inch of duc tape... Mine has been in there for 3 years no issues.. Like Martin said earlier you loose the light. You dont have to take the machine apart. | ||
