I had both of these machines....
In about 1989, I bought the electronic models. For three weeks the Whirlpool teck tried to get the washer to work. You would select the cycle and it would immediately trip the breaker. They replaced everything electrical on that machine and never could get it to do anything but trip the breaker. I had them trade them out for the push button rapid advance models not realizing that they were VERY inflexible on the cycles. As far as I was concerned, 8 minutes was not long enough to wash anything! Finally got rid of them and bought a pair of Maytag LAT900's. Sister still uses them today.
