Congratulations! Wow, nice set! That is, I think, the Canadian equivalent to the 1960 Whirlpool Imperial Mark 12 series. I love the styling on the set; I especially like the simplicity of the timer push-button arrangement. Enjoy!! | ||

Here is some pictures after an initial wipe down. Unfortunately the dryer is missing the cycle knob and the washer is missing the unique water level knob | ||

Starting to take apart to see how everything looks. Have never seen this plastic diverter over the drain before. Given their age the outer tub looks great so far and the centerpost looks salvageable | ||

Some of the internals. Looks like an early wig wag, the original water valve and since this is from 1960 this would have the older style transmission vs the later heavy duty one and 1/3 HP motor vs the later 1/2 HP | ||

My goodness, those are beautiful machines! I actually had a similar issue with the dispensers on mine since they gummed up. That’s what led me to taking the entire machine apart and while I was at it, decided to repair and rebuild things while I was at it. Be sure to hold the outer tub up to the light to see if there’s any pinholes in the tub and if there is, I’d have them welded so there’s no leaks.
The older style of wig wag has a unique sound, some people would replace it with a newer style to quiet it down a little, but these machines just aren’t the same without the unique wig wag sounds they make in operation. | ||

Have you figured out how to get the sudsaver to work?
Are you going to keep the sud valve? I've had a couple of Whirlpool made washers with those double dispensers and they were always a mess like that. They really should have had a small stream of water running when they were open to rinse the cavity clean. Back then though we didn't have multiport inlet valves. Should be easy enough to convert the dryer to electric. Just need a heater and a 120 volt double pole relay to turn the heat on and off with the old gas ignitor line. | ||

1960 top of the line, Ingliss, washer and dryer
Wow, James, that’s quite a score, these should restore very nicely.
I probably have any parts you might need for the restoration if you can’t find them otherwise. Fabric softener, and bleach dispenser on these machines was very easy to maintain but nobody ever did it, I had a lady Kenmore as my daily driver for over 30 years and I’ve never had problems with the dispensers clogging but every time I use the washer I would put a cup of hot water in each dispenser to keep them flushed out and clean. When I poured fabric softener. I would chase it with a cup of hot water . For example, when I rebuilt the machine last year the dispensers were almost totally clean install them good functional shape. That little baffle in the drain opening in the outer tub was to help water that was being spun out of clothing go down the drain whirlpool used that for many years in the mid to late 50s and early 60s.

I wouldn’t really worry about the agitator movement when in neutral. Sometimes it just drags on the oil that’s inside the transmission from the agitate gear and parts that are constantly moving whenever the motor is running. My Whirlpool did the same thing when I brought it home back in 2020, even the transmission I rebuilt does the same thing from time to time. That’s just how some of the older belt drive machines are.

Spring in bearing and seal kit
That type of small spring is a common part of oil and water seals. However, I have never seen that type of spring used on a belt drive whirlpool product, my best guess is that the company that assembled the kit got that spring in there by accident but I do not think it’s part of a seal kit for a belt drive whirlpool washer.
Was the kit you got a genuine whirlpool kit or an aftermarket kit made by seal bearing manufacturer? John | ||
