Thanks to John in Phoenix we now have a Whirlpool World washer('92-'94 model) to play with. Interesting little machine....4 water levels,4 water temp combinations, Two speed it says.

The washer fills like all direct-drive machines-waterfall fill. Here it is filling.

The washer agitating- I am surprised by the size load it can turn over. The sound of it agitating some how reminds me of sawing wood. Lol

Of course it wouldn't be a Whirlpool without a neutral drain. Very quiet electric pump empties it.

Does a fairly good job of extracting water but there are no spray rinses at all-just one deep rinse. Even has a lint filter and it's not a Magic-clean either.

My very first washing of my own was a Kenmore World Washer, I got it for my 10th birthday! I think it's a neat little machine and performs quite surprisingly well! Mine however doesn't have the cool top and fill like this yours does! Mine fills directly into the outer tub and unfortunately the inner tub is all white. (BORING!!!) However, it's a rather dramatic washer, I love the sounds it makes, I could just do without the tub brake after the final spin. I think my machine needs a new brake pad or something as when the machine does stop from the spin, the whole unit turns about a quarter turn and I'm afraid that it will break the hoses off!

That is too cute, Roger. Does it have normal water-hose connections for permanent install or is it a portable? The portable with the controls on the front was DOA - motor & pump ran fine but nothing else. The pump was scavenged for the KDC-14 dishwasher - good little pump ;-) Thanks for the pics - never saw that in this part of the country. | ||

I had one of those as well...bought as a close-out for >200. Worked fine, narrow but deep tub. Strange spin--would accelerate then coast. Had it in an unheated garage laundry area and figured since it was the World Washer it would work better with potential freeze/thaw than more "normal" machines (I asked Frigidaire about freeze/thaw on their (then new) front loaders and the "spaghetti sucking" was evident ("oh, we don't advise that..."). It replaced a mid-70s center dial Maytag which handled the freeze/thaw OK, though it was a little slow to get going in the cold...I wasn't in the mood at the time to buy another.

this looks exately lika a very commun washer we have here in Brazil, just with the diference that the inner tub here is made in stainless steel, and, as all of our washers, it doesn't have hot fill and diferent temperatures! | ||

Great pictures Roger. I enjoyed watching the machine wash. In some ways it is different but in many ways the same as other Whirlpools. Great machine!!!! Ross | ||

Hi Mike, Yes the underside looks a lot like yours. The tub indexes in this washer too....forgot to mention that. Greg, It has a regular water valve so it can be connected to hot and cold water. Here is a towel load from tonight.

I've got one of these in the garage. It really does sound like wood sawing! I need to source a replacement agitator top and lint filter. Kinda wish the machine had regular controls, not a computer. CLICK HERE TO GO TO mistereric's LINK | ||
