Looks awfully Whirlpool to me. My guess: BOL machine. '79 - '83. Let's see if I'm right. :-) Dan |

And I might add, whirlpool pretty much did away with this speed shift on the PP cycle probably by 1974 or so at the latest. Higher end models during this time had a separate knits cycle from gentle cycle. The knits offer wash time up to 8 minutes and had one cool-down phase. Gentle wash was maxxed out at 6 minutes. I do believe if there was a separate Knits cycle, the PP cycle didn't shift to gentle agitation at 6 minutes. Also, the PP cycle had 2 cooldown periods just in case hot water wash was used.

Looks the same as the one on our 1972-73 Whirlpool. |

That dial looks to me like the LDA series, 1975-1976. IIRC, that's when the design changed to those unmarked segments for rinse and final spin. Our LDA-7800 had separate Knits and Gentle, but still did the low-speed shift on Perm Press. A replacement timer some years later had one-stage cool down on PP instead of two-stage, with an EXTRA LONG drain after wash to take up the space, and still with a one-stage cool down on Knits. |

Got married in 1978. This was our first machine. A Whirlpool. |
