Your WIB 1-18 is not a 1979. More like 1975. The agitator on the water level indicator tells that story to me. I think I may be right. Later years they got rid of that water level agitator marker. Forgot to mention earlier, run hot water washes and warm water washes, and you don't have to stick to the "8" minutes! Steve |

the same minus the fancy agitator graphic on the water level. It also has the nails filter, and the lid switch is in the rear left corner of the lid opening. pdub- the first digit of the ser # is "5" , does that indicate 1975? 48-mine is also a lovely avocado! |

Good to know that I heard right about the first digit of the serial number. Thanks for confirming Goatfarmer. Greg- I have the WS from 1976 which looks very similar to your pic from Tech-Talk. Looks like mostly some graphics changes. Thanks for posting the pic and info. Here's a pic of mine when I first acquired it. The missing lint filter and rail have been replaced and it does have the window lid. Patrick |
