Um, there are 32,000 items under Westinghouse and ebay doesn't search for squat. No entries for washer, laundry, new in box, not even appliances, antique, or vintage! There are 954 under "vintage Westinghouse" but I just don't have that kind of time.
IOW, a link would be nice.

Oh, there's a link now. Thank you. Yes, I tried 'front load' too.
Now, how did y'all find that in the 40 minutes I was looking?

Real Westinghouse
too, not White-Westinghouse. Made before WCI bought them out, as it has the W in the circle.

"Westinghouse washer" didn't register. Maybe cuz I didn't CAPITALIZE it. It's OK, not sure if I know how to link ebay either. I obviously don't know how to search it.
Yes I saw the links thanks, I was looking while y'all were posting. I found at least 50 fans, a couple nostalgic radios, the salt & pepper sets I used to have one of, a page of breakers, and a nice clean looking roaster but not a single washer.

Links
I'm fairly limited in the fancy stuff I can do with my posts here -- like I can't embed a video or get more than one picture on a post, but links are a cinch. Copy the URL from the site you're on (right click on it to copy), then paste it into the "URL Link to share" field (right click on it to paste) below the message box. This should work for anyone, although sometimes it seems to make a difference how I navigated to the site.
What an awesome pair of machines, and they are priced right. That's about what they would have cost new, or maybe even less.

looks they are from around 1972-75?

Located way up in the NW corner south of GARY.
They are like the ones in the condo I lived in. Anyone who gets them won't have to worry about inadequate water usage.

Low end models LT100 and DG100. No interior light and no Weigh to Save weighing door.The dryer has the old Cross Vain Tumbling but no auto dry cycles.The set sold for $1000.$599 for the washer and $399 for the dryer.I sold them at Bernie and Harry's before they were bought out by George's.
It must be Westinghouse month - a TOL Set in Seattle and these NIB! This will be a fun set for someone to get.
New WH Stackable Pair
These are indeed very cool and are fairly priced, it does not appear to be a gas dryer as there would be an access door on the lower left front of the dryer and as Chuck mentioned these are the more basic models without the interior lights but are perfectly good machines [ the dryer DOES have an auto dry cycle ].
These could make someone a good modern classic pair and these were probably the last WHs before the WWH machines. This was not a great quality period for WH laundry, but WH laundry appliances had actually not been of great quality since the mid 1950s, LOL. We worked on hundreds of these washers and dryers over the years and they are fairly easy to repair and even though most washer parts are NLA they are still plentiful as used parts and the dryer parts are still easily available.

Our Father's Mother Had The TOL Version Of This Set
Installed after having her kitchen redone in the 1970's. It was Harvest Gold and we grandchildren were shocked. First didn't think our grandmother ( woman known for being tight fisted) not only sprung for a kitchen redo but got such fancy new appliances as well (besides the W&D there was a fridge and a self-cleaning range complete with vent hood).
Anywho all our mothers had top loaders and we hadn't see a frontloader before, so it was interesting. Still remember the smell of the washer. IIRC there wasn't a dispenser with these units, you bunged the detergent in with the wash. Once the final rinse came you had to open the door to add FS. Cannot remember if grannie's units reverse tumbled or not. Still recall the water filling from inside the tub.
My most junior aunt now owns that house after grannie passed on, really keep meaning to ask her what became of that W&D set.

These were made years before reverse tumbling arrived with the Italian collaboration and everyone should be glad. Those first RT machines were among the most disastrous machines, dependability-wise, of any washer that looked like a Westinghouse. We are talking serious design flaws like a bolt holding the upper tub weight being positioned so that the lurch from a less than well balanced load at the start of a spin drove the end of the bolt right into the timer. John and Jeff used to take a hacksaw to shorten the bolt.
These machines had one of the most powerful pumps in the washer industry with a 4 vane rubber impeller that went all the way to the walls of the pump chamber. The pump was driven via a friction wheel by the washer motor and sat beneath a shallow sump in the outer tub. Unless the machine was seriously sudslocked, it was able to expell all of the water that was spun out of the load as fast as it was extracted. If there were suds, it took longer, but generally did the job. There was no preliminary spinning like in today's FLs and there was no pausing after the start of the spin to let the pump catch up. A solenoid activated the pump and another solenoid threw the tub into almost immediate full speed spin. There was one motor and once the machine entered spin, it did not stop, come hell or high water before the timer advanced unless the situation was so bad that the motor went out on thermal overload and I've never seen that happen.
