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. John L. |

Had an earlier version of this washer, complete with waterfall lint filter.
www.automaticwasher.org/c... 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. Eddie This post was last edited 10/11/2018 at 18:31 |
