Does Whirlpool even have parts support for these anymore? If not, I wouldn't get anywhere near one. These were inundated with problems, especially the earlier machines.

Kenmore calypso washer, and dryer

If these are truly a very low use pair, they may be a good deal.

But as Dan mentioned, there are almost no parts available for the washer, you can easily keep the dryer running, except the control panel membranes would fail and they’re NLA.

Because of the scarcity of parts for these, these are not good daily driver machines they’re good for somebody who is into exotic collectibles.

It is my goal to have a Calypso washer for the rest of my life. It’s an incredible machine for certain types of loads I have had a calypso since they came out as one of almost a dozen different washing machines at my house, and I’ve only had problems with it once and I have a back up machine if it does have a major failure, which I expect it will do someday.

John.
