Wow, that's a spin-drain direct drive, those certainly aren't too common. | ||

I always thought those vintage say mid 70's Whirlpools had that waterfall lint filter with either the "bed of nails" or "bristle brush". Neither of these machines is a 1970s model. | ||

Glenn -
Whirlpool had a filter in some of their early DD agitators too, in fact they survived longer than Kenmore's did I think. One of my neighbors in 1986, when I bought my new BD, got a Whirlpool 27" direct drive with the 2.5 cu. ft basket. The agitator looked like the other Direct Drive Surgilators at the time, but the whole upper portion of the agitator snapped off to reveal a lint filter that needed to be manually cleaned. I think this configuration was in production for some time. I know the WP parts catalog I have had an agitator diagram showing this set-up if you'd like me to scan it for you. Gordon | ||

WP DD Washers With Agitator Mounted Lint Filters
WP did not do this long on the 2.5 and 3 cubit foot tubs, I only remember seeing a few of these machines, however on the compact 1.5 cubic foot tub machines this filter was used on all WP and GE versions of this washer and is still being sold today, we installed a new 24" TT last week with this filter.

Is five or six years long?
I checked the WP parts catalog from 6/1992. It lists full-size WP models into 1991 but only has three '91s. There are many non-portable models using the agitator with the filter from 1985 through 1990. The replacement part number for this agitator as a kit was 387838 (and may still be?). All the models that used it were middle line machines from LA5000XP to LA8200XW. Between those there are probably three dozen or more distinct models, mostly '85, '87, '88 and 1990 models. These may not have been popular models?
Since the book stops at 1991, I don't know if usage of the agitator continued beyond that point or not. Gordon | ||

Gordon, My grandmother bought an LA7400XMW2 on 11/16/1984. It had a one-piece, non- filter agitator. Parts diagrams show the typical under-basket comb filter. There is a wide range of designs. Referencing diagrams @ SearsPartsDirect ... LA5000XPW0 shows a one-piece agitator with a "plate" (doesn't appear to be a filter with comb fingers) under the basket. LA5000XPW5 shows a two-piece agitator (with filter barrel), and also the under-basket plate. LA7000XSW0 shows the two-piece filter-agitator plus under-basket comb filter. LA7000XSW1 goes to a dual-action agitator with under-basket comb filter. There are of course many more models. I never saw a filter-agitator during the time I worked at a local Whirlpool dealer, but it was a small-town dealer stocking/selling select popular models. | ||

Glenn,
Use of this filter agitators appears to have started with the 1985 XP models. WP's (and Kenmore's too) variations can be mind boggling. The LA5000XP went from revision 0 to 5. There were a lot of DD revisions in the first few years, as compared to BDs of the same period. The 0 and 1 had the one piece agitator, part number 63235, while versions 2, 3, 4, and 5 had the removeable filter version. Must be a machine enhancement they made during the run. The LA7000's drawing is deceiving, because it looks like a filter agitator, but it isn't. This is actually almost the same agitator, but the center section is not a filter, that's why there is an under basket disk filter included. That agitator kit is part number 64214, and the part that is the filter in the other agitator is called an "extension" on this one. Don't hold me to this, but I don't think the extension was as easy to snap off the agitator base as the filter is. One of my co-workers had his filter section come off the agitator during spin...can you imagine the noise? I think several of the '87 models (the XS) changed to DA style agitators as soon as WP was able to start using them. They must have been somewhat anxious to do so to change their models mid-stream, vs. waiting for the XT versions to debut. Gordon | ||

Well John, Perhaps maybe you may want to plan a trip to my house then. The GE combo is a fun machine, but not practical. It has to go too. Since it is modified, it will be leaving in pieces and non-working. | ||

Brian, John, I will work with you. One of you should probably email me about how this will be worked out. | ||

I'm very excited!
Thanks Gordon!
This will be my first TOL washer in my collection as well being my first chrome capped agitator. My granny had one when she had an early 80's Imperial TOL washer. This is an absoutely beautiful machine and I am so grateful to the members here helping me to retrieve it to Melvin for working with those members. I will definitely owe some people here when this is all said and done! | ||

It is a nice machine and a pleasure to work with and use it. But at the end of the day it is not practical for me, as most parts for it are discontinued. Brian I think you will like it. It even has a work light! | ||
