Found on Craigslist. Very good condition without rust, dirt, dings. Runs smooth and quiet without leaks.

When was this one made?

 

[sambootoo]

Money shot. I added the dual action agitator

 

[sambootoo]

Does this one have the old reliable center seal or the newer likely to leak one?

 

[norgechef]

It was made in

January of 1994

I have the matching dryer bought December 1994.

Well, if you had the agitator off you should have been able to see the seal at that time. It would most likely have the newer integrated rubber lip seal built into the mounting stem instead of the older kind with the insertable drive shaft seal, washer and spring retainer. Take off the agitator and look again.

Thanks, will do. Thanks for the dates, too!

Love it!

I have the LAT8814? I think, my memory fails me now. Mine is the same control panel design with infinite water level, 4 wash/rinse temps, and tho it has the 2 speed motor does not have the speed selector or the load sensor agitator. I really like the performance of mine. It does need a new brake tho.

UPDATE: Now that I've found the matching dryer, my washer has poured it's oil onto the floor. I have a transmission that I can transplant, but would it be more advisable to just replace the oil seal in this one?

That washer has the later orbital trans with a replaceable lip seal on the bottom of the shaft.
