Here is what happened to my Maytag My old set. What the agitator drive should look like. What happened is the shaft pulled out. Shaft with worn out O Rings and new O Rings on the shaft. The shaft would not stay in the transmission. Evidently needs a rebuild. | ||

All you need for the lid switch is a clothes pin. No surgery. That's the model I have. I'm satisfied with it as far as a modern machine goes. | ||

Nice choice, really happy for you. If I would have done the same I would have avoided a world of trouble. I like the tumble action, open basket, and high speed spin of a FL machine...but when you become afraid of flashing lights ruining your day every time the machine pauses...well it's a major buzz kill is what it is. | ||

Oh, you did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) 
Well, the fun has not even started. Be prepared to fall in lover like never before, and get ready for a true laundry experience as it was meant to be. You have the best of the best on your side now. All thats missing is a rob and some hot mocca.
Yup, this machine will make noise. It has its odd quirks, but they are normal. When I got mine the gear case chattered and made some light grinding noises. During full loads the machine would make a squeaking noise because the tub would rub against the Styrofoam pad glued to the front panel. Lots of other small/strange noises but nothing big. True engineering has its own personality, and that character lets itself known. Anyway, Enjoy. As I said, you will fall in love with laundry all over again. Be prepared, this machine is no joke. | ||

Interesting Video Interesting video of the 2015 Electronic Control Model. They show how to bypass the lid switch. No mention of raising the water level. Almost one hour long. CLICK HERE TO GO TO 48bencix's LINK | ||

Martin,
The lid switch is easily accessible if you remove the two screws that holds the control panel in place. The panel swings forward and the lid switch is in the rear right corner of the lid as you face the machine. I made a little 3" jumper wire with 1/4" male Faston spade terminals and just substituted that for the switch to permanently defeat the lid interlock. It would be easy to add a toggle switch on the rear of the control panel for a switchable interlock defeat too. | ||

Slow spin
I would agree, on my machine (2012 model) the perma press is slow on the first spin, Normal/Heavy fast on the fist spin, so my guess would be that as Malcolm said they combined the two cycles. To be frank it is silly as Permanent press hasn't been needed in over 40+ years. In fact most people don't even know what permanent press really is supposed to be, and most manufactures just include the cycle as a gimmick to sell.
Reason I say that is manufactures for years offered their own version of the permanent press cycle, with some being nothing more than a 10 second spin spray in the first spin without anything else changed, while others were full blown cool downs with shortened, slow spin speeds through out. To my knowledge no one has complained over PP cycles that were basically carbon copies of the normal cycle, and true PP fabrics are rare. In the few times I have ever washed something I worried about wrinkling I always used the delicate cycle and its often worked out better. | ||

The Top load SQ I have from 2008 does a SLOW spin after wash on every cycle including the normal cycle. The only time a fast spin happens is after the rinse cycle. | ||
