Anyone familiar with the year/model of this one? Looks to be of the "rarer" variety of vintage dryers still out there... It's at an upcoming estate sale by me. Perhaps the matching washer is still down there just pushed out of the way.

Omg John 
is shipping a pair east right now. How funny how things turn up in bunches! The washer may still be sitting in that basement - worth checking out.
Ben I've had several and I have never understood why these aren't great performer dryers! They have huge drums so the clothes can loft like the 29 inch WP's! What gives?? | ||

It's not the same model. This dryer is not a D1000. The D1000 has concealed controls and the cabinet is all nougat gray. This dryer probably offers all that the D1000 offers cyclewise, but it is not a D1000. | ||

Thermostat Eaters
We had a 1956 WH Dryer, and it through thermostats like crazy. On one of the change outs, the repairman said this was a characteristic of WH. I know that over the course of about maybe 13 years, we went through about 4 thermostats! They must have used very light duty Thermos. But we never bought another WH dryer again!

Westinghouse laundry appliances and reliability I believe you Hans, Westinghouse washers & dryers were actually among the most reliable laundry appliances until around the mid 1950s, from there they started on a long downward trend while other brands got better. If you look at some of the first CRs reliability surveys in the mid 1950s WH was among the best. | ||
