Few more photos. BTW what year is this? I know someone out there knows for sure. My guess is 1963-1966. It does say RCA Whirlpool on the control panel.

Rick, I"d say 1963, 1964 at the absolute latest.

The cabinet is perfect,except for one thing..... Some moron painted the left side beige with interior wall paint. Perhaps it could be cleaned off,as it looks to be latex paint. Other then the element and the beige paint(and the fact that it is not a washer) this machine is in exellent condtion.

My friend also has a very nice GE fridge for sale,which will be posted in the Super section.

The letter prefix on the model number would help determine the age. As I recall, the Whirlpool dealer for whom I worked had a dryer like this at his house in town next door to the shop. Something must have been wonky with the pushbutton temp selector, or maybe with one or more of the four bi-metal thermostats that would have been involved for the four temps. His wife always had it set on the lowest temp button. Maybe the thermostat for that circuit had been replaced with a regular-temp thermostat.

John Lefever should see this, I think he has a couple of Imperial washers from around this vintage...
