The tub opening looks like a beltdrive, arent these machines from the late 70's and doesnt Kenmore1978?? (I think) Have a set of these machines in LA? Based on that I would assume that its a Surgilator or a Super Surgliator, but I could be wrong Nathan |

It should have the "Double Duty Super Surgilator" with the wings at the base. |

come to think of it,Whirlpool didn't offer an electronic model when they switched to dd. I could be wrong but I think they came out with the electronic catalyst after sears did.Anyone know for sure? |

These are from the early to mid 80's - right before the DD changeover. I had an electronic WP washer from 1980 that had the square button pad, then came the buttons all in a row a year or two later (they offered both keypad styles for a while) but this machine has the later style panel design that carried over into the full-size machines. Here's a link to the 80 WP I had: CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

As I recall, Whirlpool did not have an electronic-control direct-drive washer during the initial changeover to that design, nor did they have one in the lineup for a number of years after. Kenmore did, and the initial offering of KitchenAid washers did include a TOL electronic model. If I am not mistaken, the Catalyst was Whirlpool's first electronic direct-drive machine.

Could you post some pics of your 1978 electronic Kenmore. Is it the one with the start/stop switch on the side of the electronic panel? |
