That looks a lot like my sister's first washer. She and her first husband married in June, 1979, and she had it until she remarried and moved into their current home in 1993. It and the matching dryer were Avocado.
My first vintage washer!

LHA series, if that's it, is 1980-81 model-year but could have been produced earlier. The serial number will confirm factory production date but not the purchase date, although purchase couldn't have been before factory production.

This was among the first models (c.1978-79) in which the cycles have been modified and renamed, particularly KNITS/GENTLE which eliminated the single cool-down KNIT cycle. Also, PERMANENT PRESS was reduced from a double to a single cool-down (correct if I'm wrong), and NORMAL was renamed REGULAR/HEAVY.
Looks barely used from inside view!!

WOWZERS...
Great tub shot!
Looking forward to seeing some videos of your Harvest Gold Whirlpool in action!
My mom had a White Whirlpool in the mid-late 70's and it had the same kind of lint filter as this one, and the same black speckled enamel inner wash tub. But I don't know if the bottom of the agitator looked like this one as I probably wasn't tall enough to see down into the wash tub.

Yes too bad you couldn't see into your parents' washer as I remember as many homes of having this as any Kenmore or GE...
I had a dream about "the late-Mort The Friendly Eye Doctor" as my late-mom called him, being alive, as well as his also late-wife and even my mother being alive and their house across the street (& one time long ago the one next door to it, another friend if my mom's lived) and it was expanded and a room housed all his eye care equipment and eye examination gear as the one they moved to in another town did when he retired...
So while the Whirlpool washer they had was white and several models down, it was much like this and even kept in their garage when it broke, and somehow the neighbor's that moved in after they'd moved out did the same with their washer that replaced it, while a cardboard that held a Kelvinator dryer replaced their Whirlpool gas dryer that matched the washer...
