My grandpa had the exact same washer when he worked at Whirlpool. I thought it was the coolest thing ever cuz it didn't have any knobs and it had lights! Do the buttons make a beeping sound when you press them? Oh how I'd love to find one of these. I remember the first time I visited grandpa's when I was finally old enough to start a washer on my own and when I got there, we found out that he had recently retired and Whirlpool took his washer and dryer back for testing as they were prototypes and he replaced them with another KitchenAid with knobs and a white agitator. I was so dissappointed!!! :( I gotta get my hands on a turquoise KitchenAid agitator like this, but it looks as though this isn't the big base agitator?

That's the model I wanted when I bought my KAWE/KEYE-760 pair in 1992. The dealer didn't have them on display, no mention was made of possibly ordering other models (and like a dumb-@ss, I didn't ask). The 760 pair was kinda expensive at the time, $1046, so I can only imagine the price of the 960s or 900s or whatever the model would be.

I had this washer for a while, Don in Minneapolis found it behind an appliance store. The board worked for a while but behaved erratically after a bit, just as you described but it never healed itself so I stripped it for parts. I kept the control panel of course, it's lighted ;-) The model I had did not have the larger finned agitator. The matching dryer to these TOL machines had a metal dispenser for rolls of dryer sheets (Bounce) on the back, I think it was available as an option for the other models. The KA dryer I have in the garage has the clips in the back panel for the box, but I've haven't seen one - yet. I'm going up to Minne in a couple of weeks to pick up this beauty, Don found this Rapid Advance Timer model in a local shop over the winter. I can't wait, I've always wanted this washer! |
