A:AnswerThe door hinge is on the top of the unit. The top lid opens from the front and stays open by itself if the top is opened 90 degrees. I believe it would open another 10 degrees however I have a cabinet above the washer so the lid does not open beyond 90 degrees at my home. The opened lid measures 58 inches from the floor.

A:AnswerThank you Maytag for providing the correct height with the top lid opened.
Now can you tell me why all washer manufacturers have an infatuation with making washers with the top lid open height being higher than 55 inches? Size does matter if it is too big.
I have a laundry chute above my washer, which requires me to find a washer under 55 inches with the top lid open. That is impossible to find today!
