Direct drive Whirlpools, Kenmore's, and some Kitchen-Aids permit washing with the lid up. So you start the load, leave the lid up and walk away. When the Spin/Drain begins, the lid switch is activated and the machine stops without losing any washing liquors. Then the load soaks till you come back and close the lid. This feature is a favorite among many inveterate soakers. Maytags and later Speed Queens do not allow this; you'd have to stop the machine manually.
