Those Whirlpool compact gas dryers aren’t common and the 24” full size dryers are even more rare like this Kenmore 24” dryer in this photo

Gee's! we just keep popping out of the woodwork here! My mom was from Midland Pa. Only 7 miles from you. I visited there until the ealry 90's to see grandma. I had the compact electric 110 volt Whirlpool dryer, and first world VMW washer. | ||

Welcome ~
Have heard and read with fascination about the suds saver in its last iteration with the ability to save both wash and rinse water. Wonderful to see one; will get out the enlarger to see the sayings on the dial. Glad it works.
Your gram was quite the collector. The wringer washer is a Speed Queen, a later model. If you work with the spring loaded ON switch, the agitator may engage. Just play with it; the spring needs a workout. Glad you joined. | ||

Last Of The Water Saver TL Washers Hi Michael Glad you found us crazy appliance collectors.
I think that the KM water-saver washer was about the last of the machines that allowed you to reuse the wash water and these last couple models also let you chose whether you wanted to save the wash or the final deep rinse water.
Whirlpool built worlds first TL automatic washers in 1947 with the built-in fully automatic Suds-saver system, by the time they quit they built these SS washers for over 50 years, your model may well be the last model built, I do not recall ever seeing a later model than yours.
If you post the model & Serial # we can tell you when it was built.
The neat old GE electric dryer is actually lower wattage than most newer electric dryers [most are now 5600 watts ], the interesting and rare gem is the compact 24" gas dryer, WP quit building these a number of years ago, while you probably want a bigger dryer for some of your laundry installing this dryer in an elevated convent position could be very handy, and this little dryer is very economical to operate, probably only about 10 cents an hour on Natural Gas.

Whirlpool gas dryer On the Whirlpool, does anyone know how I would hook that up? As in, just connect the gas and go? Or does it have a standing pilot? | ||
