I just wrapped 55 cents in duct tape with the nickel in between the two quarters. I slips in easily and removes easily when you are through watching. |

John's idea is best....
besides, how many times do we operate a machine without watching it through most of the cycle?, plus how many times has your machine gone out-of-balance to a point that it needs redistributed?... think back of how many machines did or did not have them?.... note when doing this, most one switch units to do this on are OK, but there are ones that have two switches(the second allowing fill with the lid open)...I don't believe you can have both switches activated at the same time...all I ever did was pull the second one out of the way...
