Well, I feel like an... idiot! Thanks, DADoES, I was looking all over the BACK of the dryer, not the front. Anyhow, the model # is LG7801XSW1. I plugged those numbers into the google and all that came up were modern whirlpool dryers with different model #s. So still at a loss here. | ||

that looks to be about a 1986-88 model......a match would be of course a direct drive version, and fortunately it would have to be an "Imperial" as well for a matched set....
Imperial was TOL for the electro mechanical versions, next step down would be a "Supreme".... from there down, no name given, those were MOL to basic models.... check out this site, enter in both the model and serial for exact date of manufacturer..... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK | ||

Mom11, it was manufactured 22nd week of 1989 per the serial. 1979 would be a different control console style. S in the model number indicates 1987 model-year, so production apparently continued for a while. G and 1 indicates gas. Electric would be LE and 7800. 780 indicates Imperial model line. X indicates domestic dryer. W = white color 1 = engineering change | ||

usually sure clue, but a bit puzzling on this one......
an Imperial washer would usually come with push buttons for the temp, most times 5 a Supreme would have only 4 water temp selections.... but interesting, the dryers 'push to start' button would usually be the same shape as the push buttons on the washer......odd how some things change about keep us posted as to what you find..... | ||

unless you want to go with something newer, yet colorful.....
for one thing, you can't beat a Kenmore/Whirlpool dryer for offering best wrinkle free results on just about every load.....like no other dryer in the world....its all part of that 'soft heat'..... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK on Grandrapids Craigslist

usually the Supreme and Imperial were the only ones that got the extra rinse button.......there may be some other oddball models thrown into the mix as well...
or something like a "Special Edition" would come out with a handful of mix/match options.... that pewter set is from around 2006 to 2009..... | ||
