That is one of the last BD models. We had the exact dryer in gas also, and we got it in April of 1986. I did see the washer in a little appliance shop in our neighborhood as late as September of 1988 amidst a sea of newer DD models. I am guessing the owners of the store were heavily promoting those. This, coupled with the store having a limited number of customers is why the BD washer was still on the floor after 2 to 3 years. It was the first Whirlpool I have seen with a white tub. I wanted it like you would not believe, but we were not ready for a new washer.
Have a good one,
