Like I said, Robert, I love and respect what you do to your appliances, so given the way Maytag makes all action stop when you open the lid, I am glad you solved of this by putting in your own windowed lid...

This may be a stupid question, but where do you get the different agitators?
Not stupid at all Mike! I've collected them over the years out of machines I either have or had.

Thanks Dave, I solved this problem by adding both a window lid and a toggle switch to override the lid switch and make the machine work with the lid open. The only issue with that is the unbalanced switch wont work if the toggle switch is set to override, so if I leave the machine I always set it back to lid-switch active.

This oob/lid switch question is way over my head but please humor me nevertheless.
The OOB sensor in some way uses some of the same circuitry as the LS. So it seems you need *something* that can realize the LS defeat switch is on, AND the OOB sensor is sending the signal something is out of whack. Then that *something* sends a signal to the appropriate subsystem to shut down the machine.

Oh yes I thought of that, but too much work for now. I'm happy with the results of the machine as is.
I have decided yet which agitator I like better, either the Maytag or the Easy. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think the Maytag agitator with a quick power-boost at the beginning of the agitation is winner by a hair.
