Looking at the following pictures and comparing them, what is different about the Whirlpool BD?

Ok, Here is picture 2. Also, what do you think these "changes" do? If you need hints, please ask.

I'm gonna guess
On 2 of my machines, I added switches to a) stop the timer motor and allow extra time anywhere in a cycle, and b) override the water level sensor to allow me to suck suds back up from the drain tub during agitation.
You've added a switch on top of the main console, and another one at the right side, maybe same 2 ideas as me? | ||

my guess The switch on the side of the console is for shutting off the suds valve so the wash water isn't saved every time. Not sure what the other switch is for. | ||

Originally the timer dial lights up, but has a busted bulb.

There is some space in the console but not much.

The cabinet had to be modified too. What this picture does not show is the additional cutting I had to do to the right rear gusset bracket later.

Here is the ballast kit. I'm going to be very vague for the wiring side, as I don't want future viewers who know nothing about electric to attempt this.

MOD1, part 2 is the modification of the splash guard. I have an extra just in case I mess up. The other is slightly different, but will work.

Graingers in my area was the first thing I tried-the store here didn't have the bulbs.Same with D&M appliance parts-and the lighting stores here-so my flourscent lights on my two washers that use them are dark. | ||

Now look at the underside. Hardly no chipping. Lesson: If you want to keep the top porcelain finish looking good(the edges), cut from the bottom side.

Lid switch for activation? You mean like the lights come on when you open the lid? I'd say the best way is to replace the NO only momentary switch with a NO/NC momentary switch. Connect one lead to the lights to the NC terminal | ||

MOD1, part 3 Thanks John, Darren! Now! A tub/"wash" light has been added, but there is STILL a problem. What's wrong with this picture?
