As far as I know it's not possible to do this with a post-1967 Maytag (that's the year they changed the out-of-balance switch from a mechanical lever that shut the timer off to an electrical one as part of the lid switch. Most people that I know who choose to override these switches do so with a toggle switch mounted on the back or side of the control panel. This switch overrides the lid switch when you're there and when you're done with the "excitement" of watching, you flip the switch back to "normal" and close the lid. I've never done one of these overrides but armed with the schematic and basic electrical knowledge I think anyone could figure it out.

I use Peter's method, with the 1/2 clothes pin it usually pops out when you move the lid. I need error proof more and more recently. alr | ||
