Maytag Lid Switch Question

[70series]

I used to hold the switch back on our 206 by using the handle end of a letter opener. Worked pretty well actually.

The 12 series was the first to allow the lid to be raised during fill. As far as the pause increments, you are right. The 12 series models you mentioned did not have the one minute pause between agitate and spin. Instead there was a brief pause that lasted 5-10 seconds. I think this was also true of some of the 10 series models.

Have a good one,
James

Here is what I do with my 1983 Maytag automatic. I went to the paint store and got a wooden paint stirrer that they give you to mix the paint. I just lay it long ways along the back of the lid by the switch control. You can open the lid fairly far to watch the action and take it out when you don't. Have fun. Gary

Chronology

Could anyone post the years that the 10, 11, and 12 Series were each produced?
