I had that same set in white for years. They worked quite well.

I had the LK version, even the same color, for about a year when I moved into my first apartment after college.  Bought at a garage sale.

Neat Compact WP pair

The washer is about three years older than the dryer [ 1974 ] it is one of the fast spin BD compacts, nice little washer. At the Maytag home appliance store I worked in the 70s after we put one of these on the show room floor we never sold another MT porta-washer and had to give away the MT we had on the floor at cost.

The WP compact dryer is 1977 and is the 240 volt [ 3200 watts ] version, between the fast spin and the 3200 watt dryer you can turn out 4-6 pound loads every 35-45 minutes.

Had an earlier version of this washer, complete with waterfall lint filter.

Long since sold on (to another member) in order to make room for the AEG. Was nice bit of kit once a pesky leak was sorted.

I also had this same set in White that I purchased new in 1973. The washer was nice because when I lived in 3 different places with washer hookups I could use it that way because it was convertible.

Alas, the clutch went out twice, forst time while the parts were still under warranty, and Whirlpool repaired, but I paid the labor, I think it was $75 or $90, can’t remember exactly. The second time I got rid of it and bought a Maytag A50, that I really like much better and it never had any problems in the 5 years I used it until I bought a new Maytag TL. The dryer was great, but I did replace the belt once myself in about the 4th year I owned it. They were a godsend for an apartment dweller.
