I know that many members wanted a good home to be able to discuss all the latest and greatest trends and developments in the washing machine, dryer and dishwasher industries. That’s why I created the Deluxe Forum. This forum will be for starting discussion threads from the inception of the Direct Drive Whirlpool washer in the 1985 to the latest high-efficiency Top and Front Loading automatic washers, electronic dryers and the quietest and water saving dishwashers of the 21st century and beyond.

Should 1986 Belt-Drive WP/KM machines be posted in the "Imperial" section? Aren't they considered classic? ;-) | ||

Belt Drive To 1987 I thought that the WP belt drive ended in 1986 but recently I worked on a machine that was made in early 1987. Glen. | ||

when the direct drive machines were introduced,they were available along with the older belt drive models for the first 3-5 years of the dd's introduction.Once w/pool realised the difference between the two in not only cost effectiveness but also frequency of repair going down considerably on the dd's,they went all direct drive.another note,the dd's are so much easyer to repair and take so much less time to work on.Not that I don't miss the old belt drive models.But,being a Rapidry fan and liking my clothes wrung out completely,the old belt drive models were never that effective in extraction of water.
