Should be an 18#er. My guess is LDA-8800, which is one step below the TOL 9800 of the time.
OLD BRAND NEW WHIRLPOOL PAIR NEVER USED

Should be an 18#er. My guess is LDA-8800, which is one step below the TOL 9800 of the time.
Notice there are two cycles on the dryer's timer, which would be timed or electronic autodry. Thermostatic autodry would have separate Regular and Perm Press auto cycles.
Nice Whirlpools
Gordon, hope you'll be able to get these.
Happy belated Birthday!

Definately an 18 pounder--know it like my palm
Yielding to Glen the WP Guru:.... is this machine, an LDA 6900, a few years than the discovery? Never knew its year of birth. The temp dial is different, but they're certainly kissin' cousins. Still going strong after all these how many years? This belonged to my Aunt Alice and has never seen a repairman. She gave it to me because the cabinet was rusting a bit at the bottom. Gotta love perfectionist Aunties. Whirlpool's longevity and dependability are remarkable, something you don't hear about too often.
Glen, can you tell me the year?[this post was last edited: 9/3/2012-12:38]

P.S Happy Belated B.Day
First of all everyone, THANK YOU all for the birthday wishes....they are very much appreciated. It has been a nice birthday weekend.
I called about the machines -- sadly for us in the club they are sold! The nice guy who answered the phone said "Oh those should not still be on there, they've been sold."
So, presumably one day another set will come about. At least I was the buyer of a belt drive when they were still in production so if I don't find another it won't be a huge disappointment.

Surgilator
That is by far my favorite surgilator. I prefer it over the winged thang. Not so much an anti-wing thing as an anti-suds caker. I'd rather see the turnover...

Correct, per fill. About 44 to 46 gallons for the whole normal cycle. More for perm press.
Water use...
Dan, the later 18lb machines fill with about 22 gallons, but the original 18lb models, 1967-1981 fill with as much as 25 gallons.
The later machines, mid 1981 to 1987, were considered energy saver models for their use of less water and associated energy.

Happy Belated Birthday Gordon
Sorry to hear about the machines slipping by, something better and more deluxe and unused will come your way, maybe an unused pair of Ladys

As I recall from the user manual, our 1976 LDA-7800 had four water levels of 12 gals, 17, 22, and 27.

The most I've seen in Kenmores is 25.something gallons, but water capacity seems to vary as models do with different agitators. The smaller Surgilator agitator probably takes up the least space of all the agitators used.

Sorry to hear...
that they were already sold. Oh well, something even better will come along!
Happy B-day again Gordon.

Any chance you could decode my machine's birth date? LDA 6900? Thanks.
To all water lovers: On the double cooldown PP cycle, at full water level, this old tank of a girl uses approx. 80 gallons.

Not Surprised They Sold Quickly
At only $400 for a NIB Whirlpool set am betting it was a local person wanting a good W&D pair that was better than the "Energy Star" garbarge that passes for top loaders today. Don't think you can get a decent TL washer alone today for that price.
Or, OTOH a member spied the advert and nabbed them, guess we will have to wait and see.
If the things are indeed sold the seller should at least take down the CL advert. Hate when persons go on about "oh they were sold long ago", and act bothered that someone is contacting them about whatever.
Happy Birthday Gordon!
Don't worry, something interesting will pop up again soon! Indeed now that the housing market is "on the mend" it seems not a day or week goes by without something jumping out of the woodwork that was in a home someone either just purchased or needs to get shot of because they are moving house.

MickeyD,
Being an LDA series of vintage, it's the same range as the machine of topic ... 1976-1977. The serial number codes the year & month of manufacture.
