control panel

I thought the back panel lite up as it has a plastic lens but i think it`s just a filler panel

I think these machines had some of the best lint catchers in the industry

Wow John, NICE! Looks to be VERY clean!

You should try removing the screws for the control panel and looking inside to see if there IS a light... maybe you just need a bulb?
(wishful thinking - fingers crossed!)

Thought the same about the light.
Although there was no light in back of that plastic panel, Toggles added one.
Funny that the light comes on only when the timer is energized.

This particular machine has a problem with its spin speed, although it washes perfectly.

Our first Whirlpool had that type of lint filter, but I don't think it had bleach dispenser. It had push buttons for water temperature control, no suds return. It did have a fabric softener dispenser on the agitator, which I think we bought later.

Great looking machine enjoy!

Washer color

The letter L in the end of the module # stands for lemon it was an unshaded version of harvestgold it was used on promontable modules and portables its not the same pretty yellow that was used in the early 60s. The W in the module means its 1971

Beautiful washer. I once saw a Coppertone model of a washer containing all of these features, but it was a slightly older model IIRC.

This washer is at earliest a 1971 model, as that was the first year of the pushbutton lid switch shown in Pic # 5.

These lint filters are the best catchers IMHO. I always loved that you could pull it out during the wash and see the water flow past.

Have a good one,
James
