Product review (5 stars): ) Good luck!
Bought this for our Maytag LAT3500AAE Washing Machine which was not stopping when the load was unbalanced.  The part I received is OEM and matched the one I removed exactly.  This lever serves two purposes:  (1) When the load is unbalanced, it turns off the washer.  (2) It stops the washer when the lid is raised.  On my model this repair is done by removing the front panel and raising the top panel, NOT by loosening the control panel.  The tricky thing about the repair is removing the lid.  It's hinged with two plastic balls, and when you pull on one side to get the lid off, that ball immediately goes f l y i n g.  So make sure you put a dark towel (to see the white ball) over and around this area to prevent it from launching across the room and rolling under something where you'll never find it.  The second ball may stay in place if you don't pull too hard, but the potential problem is that it could go between the tub and the frame.  So you might want to tape a piece of paper under it to funnel the ball straight down into the tub.  The other watchout is to make sure you place everything in proper alignment, and tighten it properly.  The piece of plastic on top of the tub ring that's supposed to hit this lever doesn't have much room for error.  When you put the lid back on, get that dark towel out again because the ball may go flying if you don't get it to roll into its cavity.  A second person helps a lot with the re-installation of the lid.  The lever seems to have solved my problem because the next two times the load was unbalanced it stopped spinning.  (If this didn't work I was going to buy a new lid switch, which is the electrical button-style switch that this lever presses on.)  Good luck!
