My new yard sale find. I see two screws on the front sides and two on the back. I take the top off then do what to kill the lid switch? Anyone have any experience with these?

Switch defeats me!
I got the HLP23 1.5 cubic feet model new over a year ago. I wanted to defeat the switch as well especially since it has an opaque plastic lid. It was cheap online, but as it was new I didn't want to take it apart- I figured the switch might be triggered by one of the springs on the side of the lid-
Long story short, I ended up displacing a spring that fell down inside the cabinet, and then the friggin lid never stays open by itself- a pain until I rigged a bungee chord over it that holds the lid up.
The switch still shuts the washer down when the lid is open, so I've never gotten much of a view of the wash- I can get a glimpse when I open it really fast-
so the switch thing was frustrating, but I love the washer and it's hooked up permanently to a laundry faucet in my bathroom that allows me to regulate the temperature. A year and a half and no problems at all- and very convenient, I throw stuff directy into it and run it when it's full.

Haier portable installed!
Wanted to get the old Maytag out of the detached garage (aka SHED) and inside in the bathroom, but then realized the door was too narrow. So instead of having to install a wider door, I got a really good deal on a Haier 1.46 cu ft. portable washer on ebay- way below Walmart cost. So here it...
