Nice KM portable. A friend of mine had a KM portable in Coppertone, which I got to use several times before she moved, the were great machines. |

It is always neat to see and hear these working, Good Video Kevin. This washer departed from the usual WP BD design more than any other TL washer they made over the 40 years of BD washer manufacturing. This washer had a unique suspension system and a really good poly-vee belt drive with a spring loaded tensioning pulley to maintain proper belt tension. And of coerce the spin speed was 925 or 860 on the later versions, as compaired to 525-540 for all the other BD washers built. So it was the fastest WP TL washers till the Calypsos came out in 1999.
Kevin it looks like your plastic tub cover is missing, if you don't have it and want one get in touch with me and I will send you one. |

Why did these portables spin counterclock wise when every other Whirlpool washer spins clockwise? |
