Do you hear a click or anything audible when the lid is closed?
If not, wild assed guess:
I wonder if it could be magnetic. Might try running a magnet or
something around the lid opening and see if it actuates any change.
I've my doubts though, given the metal nature of these washing
machines.
I have seen the switch deals like you describe on yours. My newer
Kenmore though has a plastic "finger" attached to the lid that drops
into a hole when the lid is closed.
I am not sure if any of that helps.
I am not sure this is something you really wanna go out of your way to
override though. It could get messy when you forget about it and that
agitate becomes rinse/spin or wash with an unbalanced load.
