I remember looking at these machines brand new in the store when I was 7 years old! I always snapped right to these machines because they were so sleek with their color and the control panel and all the lights! I would have killed to have a set back then!
And now I finally have them! Thanks to our very own Melvin (SupremeWhirlpool)! A friend and I drove down to Ohio to pick the set up where Melvin was holding onto them for me. We left around 3:30pm and I ended up arriving home at 5:30am! It was a long trip with many troubles but totally worth it! The set is gorgeous and cleaned up beautifully! It even has the manuals! All I need to figure out for the time being is how to put the washer into diagnostic mode so that I can see it working without water! The dryer is 220V so I wasn't able to hook it up at the moment but, the washer was plugged in! I LOVE the lights! unfortunately, I don't have space for these machines currently so the friend who drove me to Ohio generously offered to store them for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH MELVIN!!!! It was such a pleasure meeting you and seeing your machines! That Primus is SO COOL! And thanks for helping us figure out the stupid door on the truck! This set will be treasured! |

congratulations Jamie on another dream realized. I do believe these were being sold when I bought my 1986 LK. This model was the only one available in Ebony. The mechanical LK wasn't available in Ebony at that time. If it would have been, I would have snapped it up because most of my kitchen then was already black and chrome, except for the fridge.

Excellent set.....I had 2 of them.....wish I still did.....a quiet washer, add a splash shield from a calypso, and insulation around the tub and you won't hear these running, unless you are leaning against them.....thats also a 3 speed model...3 agitations, 2 spin speeds....I also added the bigger base agitator from a KA, major turnover.....
with my second set, I did have to have 7 sets delivered until they got a set that had NO issues....4 months of uninstall and reinstall........but I would give anyhing to have another! |
