That does look familiar... I am curious about the light on the front, what is the deal with that? Is that the pushbutton release? | ||

Whooops!!
Head on collision! :) Kevin,there is a WP POD of a pink 1957 or 1958 Whirlpool Imperial that comes around now and then. Someone here said that one pops the top a minute or two before the machine shuts down. I just drool when I see that POD,the machine is just so beutiful! I am thinking that is your moms machine,and not my 56. One member has a 1959 WP Imperial,I am hopeing they will see this post and share a pix of that machine for us again. Rick | ||

Hey Rick, Lovely, simply lovely washer! Does the lighted front push button also serve as the inner tub light? | ||

Tub light
Thanks Jimmy :) The forty watt tub light is on the left side,the ozone light is at the top (as always) and the logo light is in front. There are eight lights total in this machine. I think Whirlpool thought they were designing a jukebox when they made this one! LOL! Do you still have a photo of your 58 WP? If so can you post it please? | ||

WOW!!!! "rickr": Thanks for the beautiful shot of your 1956 Whirlpool Imperial. Lights are everywhere. The control panel, the button on the front of the cabinet, the lighted interior. That must be heavenly to look at when this machine is agitating. --Charles-- | ||

Vintage stuff
Thanks you guys!!:) I could not have done it if it were not for the technical advice of several club members. Vintage stuff is addictive to me. I started at ten years old with a jukebox,and it just went from there. I have to admit that my washers are one of my favorite things. I look forward to laundry night. And usually find some excuse to do a load or two a couple of days after "laundry night". I would like to see a few pix of other early Whirlpools from other members. I know Kevin REALLY wants to "see" what his moms machine looked like,and I want to see it too! If anyone owns one or more of these old Whirlpools please share some photos with us. Thanks' Rick | ||

56 Imperial dryer
Hi Kenny! I tore the dryer down as soon as I got back home. The cabinet is at the body shop for a repaint,and the rest is dismantled in my garage. I have to get a few new parts,repair some burned wires,and paint the superstructure. Also the drum needs to be painted. Has anyone out there ever done that with lasting results? I was thinking of having it powder coated. Does that sound like the way to go? Anyway here is the pix you sent me of the matching dryer to my WP ,so everyone else knows what we are talking about. BTW Thanks again! I LOVE it!! :)
