Cute dog - and great pictures of the house and family too. How old is your WP washer? I see lots of black-panel WP's here, they were very popular machines.

i am unsure as to how old my whirlpool is, when we first moved into the house there was a Hoover Zodiac front loader that was like 12 years old, this was an ace machine until it decided to leak and with the three of us being students, we figured it would be a greater invesment to buy a new machine than to repair the old one. We got the Whirlpool from my uncle who also owns the housse, he wanted to buy a front loader to save on water since he has a lot of children and a lot of loads of laundry. So we got the Whirlpool for $100 and it has never failed, not once. We did recently aquire a Bosch Classix that my father gave me for my birthday, coz he also was worried i was spending too much money on water bills, but it was second hand and had problems, so we just sold it for spares and got the Whirly back

Mid 90's

Hi Guys,

Those machines are mid 90's.

Great pictures of your Whirlpool, I love looking at detailed pictures of control panels. Strange though that they use a rotary dial for the extra rinse and push buttons for the temperature selection. One would think that it would be cheaper to make them the other way around.

Damn, I need a timer knob like that..

Looks great.. I like the console on those ones..

ANd I think in 96 or 97 was when whirlpool went to the all white back console design..
