Happy Birthday, Gordon!!! You know, there's nothing like giving yourself a treat for your birthday. Those "Pools" have your name written all over them. They're brand new and never used. Go get em', man... --Charles-- |

Yielding to Glen the WP Guru:.... is this machine, an LDA 6900, a few years than the discovery? Never knew its year of birth. The temp dial is different, but they're certainly kissin' cousins. Still going strong after all these how many years? This belonged to my Aunt Alice and has never seen a repairman. She gave it to me because the cabinet was rusting a bit at the bottom. Gotta love perfectionist Aunties. Whirlpool's longevity and dependability are remarkable, something you don't hear about too often.
Glen, can you tell me the year? This post was last edited 09/03/2012 at 12:38 |

First of all everyone, THANK YOU all for the birthday wishes....they are very much appreciated. It has been a nice birthday weekend.
I called about the machines -- sadly for us in the club they are sold! The nice guy who answered the phone said "Oh those should not still be on there, they've been sold." So, presumably one day another set will come about. At least I was the buyer of a belt drive when they were still in production so if I don't find another it won't be a huge disappointment. Gordon |

At only $400 for a NIB Whirlpool set am betting it was a local person wanting a good W&D pair that was better than the "Energy Star" garbarge that passes for top loaders today. Don't think you can get a decent TL washer alone today for that price.
Or, OTOH a member spied the advert and nabbed them, guess we will have to wait and see. If the things are indeed sold the seller should at least take down the CL advert. Hate when persons go on about "oh they were sold long ago", and act bothered that someone is contacting them about whatever. Happy Birthday Gordon! Don't worry, something interesting will pop up again soon! Indeed now that the housing market is "on the mend" it seems not a day or week goes by without something jumping out of the woodwork that was in a home someone either just purchased or needs to get shot of because they are moving house. |

Clyde, OH facility. 10th week of 1977 I hope the following info is all accurate. Model number syntax from 1962 to 1981 had the year designator as 2nd character. J = 1962 (LJA-3200W Whirly washer of my childhood) K = 1963 L = 1964 M = 1965 (LME-4600W Whirly dryer of my childhood) P = 1966 R = 1967 S = 1968 T = 1969 V = 1970 W = 1971 X = 1972 Y = 1973 A = 1974-75 (LAA-9800 was the last 3-speed belt-drive Imperial Mark 18 washer, LAE/I-9800 dryer had three tumble speeds) D & E = 1976-77 (LDE/I-9800 was the last dryer with multiple [two] tumble speeds) F & G = 1978-79 (LFA-9800 was the first electronic belt-drive washer) H = 1980-81 The syntax then changed, placing the year designator in 8th position. J = 1981 K = 1982 L = 1983 (ET16JKLWR0 granny's refrigerator) M = 1984 P = 1985 (LA7800XP Imperial 70 belt-drive washer of note) R = 1986 S = 1987 T = 1988 V = 1989 W = 1990 X = 1991 Y = 1992 A = 1993 B = 1994 D = 1995 E = 1996 F = 1997 G = 1998 H = 1999 J = 2000 (GSX9885JQ0 Catalyst I refurbished) K = 2001 (GVW9959KQ1 my daily-driver Calypso) L = 2002 M = 2003 P = 2004 R = 2005 S = 2006 T = 2007 V = 2008 W = 2009 X = 2010 Y = 2011 A = 2012 B = 2013 ... etc. Model syntax covers all product lines, not just laundry. Note that model number year reflects marketing, not necessarily the manufacture year. Some items may be produced for some period of years with only engineering changes. Engineering change is the ending 1 to 2 digits. My parents have a Whirly wall oven with model-year of 1995 (RBD245PDQ15 - D in 8th position) ... but the engineering change (last digits) is 15, which is quite a high number, and the serial indicates manufacture 43rd week of 2005. We bought a new gas range for the grandmother last week. Model WFG114SWQ0, which is 2009, and interestingly an engineering change of 0, but the serial indicates manufacture 13th week of 2012. |

Serial numbers, back to 1970 and possibly a little further. Very old numbers have a different syntax, with the facility and date codes at the end instead of beginning. The first-position letter indicates the manufacturing facility. Washers are usually C for Clyde OH. Dryers are typically M for Marion OH. Second character is year of manufacture 3rd & 4th position *numbers* is week of the year. Remaining digits are the sequence/order of manufacture in the week. Due to repetition of the serial year code, the date code from the model number may be needed to accurately place the manufacture year, along with an "awareness" of the general vintage of the unit. Products sourced from other manufacturers have an additional character in 2nd position (immediately after the first) to indicate the source (such as the German-made Duet washers). The same serial number syntax applies to many Whirlpool-produced products of other brands -- KitchenAid laundry, Kenmore, Roper, etc. Year codes 0 = 1970 1 = 1971 2 = 1972 3 = 1973 4 = 1974 5 = 1975 6 = 1976 7 = 1977 8 = 1978 9 = 1979 0 = 1980 1 = 1981 2 = 1982 3 = 1983 (E348223771 the grandmother's refrigerator) 4 = 1984 5 = 1985 6 = 1986 7 = 1987 8 = 1988 9 = 1989 Then the codes were expanded to help avoid repetition X = 1990 A = 1991 (CA2604297 my KitchenAid KAWE760 washer) B = 1992 C = 1993 D = 1994 E = 1995 F = 1996 G = 1997 H = 1998 J = 1999 (CJ4807360 Kenmore 110.20907990 washer I refurbed, the parents have it now) K = 2000 L = 2001 (CL4104880 daily driver Calypso) M = 2002 (MM2302671 the Calypso-match dryer) P = 2003 R = 2004 S = 2005 (XS4306965 the parents' wall oven) T = 2006 U = 2007 W = 2008 Y = 2009 0 = 2010 1 = 2011 2 = 2012 (VE21304602 the grandmother's new stove) 3 = 2013 4 = 2014 ... etc. |

Two readings so far have made it clearer.
In the Spring, I had the first awakening when you showed me this:
GVW-9959KQ1 (specific to the Calypso)
Haven't had the pleasure of a Calypso in person, so the 9 speed combinations have remained a mystery to me. It will be biscuits and pewter for me, please, when I get one.
A scholar and a gentleman, Glenn. Thank you. Be dreaming of letters and numbers, shortly. |
