30-year-old Maytag top load stack
Hi Greg, it is possible to bypass the lid switch of course Maytag use the silly dual lid switch system on this machine and the small switch fails pretty regularly so we bypass that anyway, but you can completely bypass it if you want, I guess it just depends whether you want to modify the machine or not when you Sell it if you don’t keep it.
Will the new whirlpool stack last 30 years?
We’ll just have to stick around and see you’ll definitely have less trouble with the whirlpool dryer than the Maytag dryer had We hardly ever have trouble with the dryers in the stacks until they are very old and had a lot of use. the Maytag washer part of the machine will hold up better than the new whirlpool but time will tell. I don’t have a crystal ball.
