I've never seen a control panel design like this before and was puzzled. Looking at the opening, lint filter, dispensers, etc. I wondered if t this was a Norge built washer? I was surprised to read the Kelvinator name. Obviously in the 1970's, this (TOL model?) must have been the end, or near the end of Kelvinator? Was this a Norge, or if not, who built it?
Thanks!

IDK, it sure looks like a Norge-built machine to me. The famous burp-a-lator lint filter gives it away. |

This was a WCI product (Franklin design) with the angel wing agitator. It had a pump recirculating filter into the pan, the center section was fabric softener dispenser.
Here is one from Canada, same machine but a MOL model instead of TOL like the POD Kelvinator. |
