Not a bad looking washer, Brian. The top and lid look to be in excellent condition. My former neighbor Hazel had one that looked about like yours. Have fun with it.

Like the styling a lot. Congrats!
Agitation a bit slow, though? I didn't know they were that gentle.

Really super machine-in watching the last video-Agitate and neutral drain-sounds like the belt needs to be retensioned or replaced-the "Woo-Woo" of the agitation sounds a little draggy.Or are you using the machine in the "gentle" mode?Either way the belt should be checked.At its longest span-you should be able to deflect the center with your finger about half- 3 forths of an inch.

About the slow agitation
Unfortunately I was not in gentle agitation. If I was in gentle, it is worse. It seems like the belt was replaced along with the pump as I have a paper work order saying to replace belt and pump 365. Will take picture of order after getting some sleep. Also have the original owner's manual. Agitation gets better as the machine is used and in the spin video you will notice the spin getting faster and faster and after the 4th spray, you will hear it winding up to perhaps full speed.

Brian what a great washer congratulations it must be whirlpool month.
Your machine is looking good , i found mine about a month ago and slowly starting to clean him up i have two water levels and three temps on my model that is i think is the only difference and yours is self cleaning.
The model here has a magic clean filter my motor is pretty loud but agitates pretty well & spins fine i would like to give it a new belt and hopefully get it restored to top condition one day but i also have the other machine to do first.
It was nice seeing a face with the name at Eric's wash in looked liked you guy's had a great time.
So tell me what you think of this whirlpool, it needs much more cleaning and just stuff lol thanks...nice vids.

Nice washer Darren
Yours looks great. I see the difference in the water settings and your dial is different then mine. Also the 2-speed/4-cycle logo is not on yours. Didn't realize they would make them so different yet look so much the same. I like the chrome on yours, mine is quite pitted. I am thinking about getting the parts re-chromed one day perhaps. The warranty on my certificate says it is effective Nov. 15, 1965, so I assume that is when the washer was purchased? Did they print the warranty certificates as the washers were purchased?
