It is nice to see that a set has survived in such nice coindition. Usually when I see these models now they have had the life beat out of them. I think what makes this extra cool is the fact that they were purchased by new by your mom so you know their history. Congrats on your acquisiton.....PAT COFFEY |

These were great machines by this time and they had better relilablity than MT or GE or anyother major US brand for that matter.
WP added holes higher up the sides of the wash basket and redesigned the fill flume to spray the water at the center of the flume more toward the basket. These changes were made to help address the occasional complaints about smelly washers caused by build ups at the top of the outer tub. Just like today with all the complaints about moldy FL washers these build-ups are caused by poor washing practices. Which include using too cold a water temperatures, too little detergent, cheap weak detergents, using the same brand of detergent all the time, always cold wash & rinse, always using warm wash& rinse and of coerce never using LCB.
Tony I would bet from the looks of your moms washer if you take the cabinet off you would see almost no build-ups at the top of the outer tub. |

I believe this is a filter-agitator. It has an integral lint filter similar to classic Maytags, the upper section detaches to clean. The group of holes by the curved fins is to flush water through the filter during agitation. The single hole(s) a little higher is for a softener dispenser mounted in the agitator, which apparently is not included with this model but could be (and still can be) obtained as an option. |
