This washer is NOT from the late 70's but the early 80's. I know this because until 3 years ago my mom had a 1979 Whirlpool Imperial 70 gas dryer model LFI 7801 that was bought at th our local Memco store on November 26th 1979 and that dryer had the the cycle markings on the dial NOT on the control panel. Yet our 1983 Whirlpool Supreme washer that was purchaesed in December 1983, and which was taken summer cottage in 1989 to replace a 1963 Kenmore 70, has the same control panel that washer on ebay has except that instead of the wood grain control panel with the white markings our washer haser a black control panel with orange markings. Based on these facts I believe that means that the machine on Ebay was made between 1980 and 82. Note: the lid if from the early to mid 70's as my moms 1979 dryer had a plastic door handle that was the same color as the cabinet not a chrome one. Patrick Coffey |

This would be true. I was looking only at the model number when I said 1978. Does the seller perhaps have the model wrong? The LFA series still had the timer dial with markings on the dial, not on the console. LDA was 1976. LFA would have been 1978. This is maybe an LHA, I believe that's when the timer changed to that style. Unless it's a late-release / special-model LFA.
