Here's a Craigslist ad in Monroe, NC (which is very nearby the Charlotte metro area) for a 24-inch DD washer (I am nearly sure it's not a BD) and what seems to be a pretty rare dryer, the 24-inch 3.4 cu. ft. spacesaver.
If anyone is intested, I might be able to retrieve them for you. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kenmoreguy64's LINK on Charlotte Craigslist |

I was thinking this a DD, but there is a crack between the top and sidea of the machine. Weren't DD solid? |

ALL -
Funny that some are surprised I don't want these, but I have two DD washers I want to keep, and a couple temporary, and that's more than enough already. Never was very interested in the little dryers, though they do look neat. IF that was a BD washer, I'd be showing you all pics of my newest acquisition! I am nearly certain that the washer is DD unit. The size of the lid is the clincher, not noticeably in width but depth. The BD lid is not as deep, leaving a couple inches of cabinet top in front of it. As you can see in the seller's ad, the lid takes up nearly the entire top. BDs lids, don't do that as you can see in this example: |

Definitely a DD washer for sure. My sister had one like that. |

He is referring to the portable dryer that WP/KM sold. It has a smaller diameter drum as well as the filter inserted in the rear of the drum as opposed to being accessible from the top.
Here is a pic: Here is the drum: The model for sale is essentially the portable model above with a 220v element (which could be had in the portable as well) and the full (but narrow) cabinet. It's a slightly different dryer than the standard full size KM/WP. -Tim |

This compact dryer did use the drum, bulkhead and other mechanical al parts of the regular compact dryers that WP has produced from 1967- the present. It was produced in gas and 240 volt versions only no 220 volt versions were ever made. IT was a neat little dryer it even included a drum light and both the gas and electric versions had four way venting capability [ unusual for a WP built dryer ]. And as Tim mentioned we do have an almond electric one here at the warehouse. This dryer appeared as a WP model in the mid 1990s in thier full line catalog but I don't think they ever produced it when I once tried to order one I was told that none had been made yet.

It's something I do often, people here seem to call it 220, and respectively 110v. I never remember what to call it. I was just referring to the "full voltage" dryer.
This to me is a neat dryer in many ways. For one it's small, and as we know I like small things. Two, it's modeled after a full-size appliance which is cool, baby appliances that look like their full size siblings are super cool in my book. It's the same reason I liked that little Norge 21" dryer you had John. Three, it seems to be well optioned for it's size, I wasn't aware that it had a drum light, but auto-dry and WrinkleGuard is nice. You would think that this dryer would be BOL, but it's not at all. -Tim |
