Fix a Thin Twin switch?

Does anyone know how to fix a Whirlpool Thin Twin switch (the one that switches between washer and dryer) so that they both run at the same time? This is the second apartment I've had a Thin Twin in and in the first one, I could operate the washer while the dryer was running but I can't with in the new apartment. I figure they must've fixed the switch somehow. Does anyone know how?

Ok, I figured it all out. You need about $8.75 in parts from radio shack. Use the PN# 64-3064 single female to dual male adapter to hook up both the black and the solid yellow wires to the same side of the switch's output side. Make sure to wrap this well with electrical tape because this is an all metal adapter and it can SHORT OUT! I only felt comfortable doing this mod on mine by adding an inline fuse to the 120V yellow/black stripe wire. I used the PN# 270-1217 (20Amp inline fuse holder), PN# 270-1041 (ceramic fuse 20Amp) and some quick disconnects (PN# 64-3135) to put it all together. This way it could be modified back to its original form if needed. When installing the fuse, and quick disconnects, you will have to trim back some of the plastic on the male side of the quick disconnect in order to fit into the existing wiring harness on the machine. Cut the wire in half on the radio shack fuse holder and crimp the male quick disconnect to one side and the female to the other side. This way you can install it right in very easily. I took some pictures of my modification. If you would like to see them you can email me @ crashoverride73@yahoo.com

P.S. I just completed this modification today and tested it briefly. If I run into any problems I will post again.

Thanks

I'd like the answer to the same question. It takes me days to get through my laundry.
