So last weekend I picked up this pristine 1984 Whirlpool set. One of those sets that a little old lady had who only used them on Sundays. Seriously. Complete with owner's manuals and fabric softener dispenser. The dryer looks like it was barely used. Anyway, had to take them (they were free) and although they are in lovely vintage '80s almond color, can't wait to set them up in my new washer room space as I rebuild my collection lost in the Valley Wildfire in 2015.

I'm told by the experts here that my Whirlpool was built in '84, but is an '82 model. Indeed mine does look different than yours. I believe that they said my dryer was built in '87. It looks much more like your machine. Keith |

The owner's manual is copyright 1984, and the one-time owner logged a purchase date of March 19, 1985. It is indeed a belt-drive and both washer and dryer are clean as a whistle! Hope to eventually have them in the indoor laundry room this Fall, once I get my new outdoor laundry room fixed up. Here's what I'm using now until I get my vintage machines going -- thought I should break down and get a new set to have as back up so I don't wear out my vintage machines..!
