Whirlpool compact front loader

[laundromat]

I stopped at Sears yesterday on my way to Coconut Island to get a tool kit and there sat a Whirlpool 24" wide front load washer. It was tagged $899. Then 50%off at $399. That was scratched out to $299. The salespeople saw me and said.bb they'd take $199. I had $400 in cash. I said I only had $100 .They took it!!! We picked.it up today. I have it, on Craigs List for $599.

Not interested in it's performance. It looks a bit like a Candy. Definitely Electrolux made. No button catcher.

is it made in Korea?  I saw one of those once that was.  Poor reviews if it's the one I looked at.

This is the only WP 24" FL washer that has been available in the US for around 5 years now, these are built by WP in China, they are old school washers with a brush type motor, they work well but have had poor durability, we have sold well over a 100 of these over the last 5 years and a few have given us a fit of problems.

Yes that is correct.  This model is similar to the "old school "Magic Chef/ Philco of Italy " models from the mid eighties. I had a total of at least ten of them and only one with issues. It was a Zanussi I found at Luskins in the trash. It tumbled clockwise, stopped three seconds and soaked fifteen seconds. Then went clockwise again. That was the only one that was problematic.

Hi Chuck, So which machine do you have, The WFC7500s have a button trap behind the lower trim strip, these have no relation to any Italian I have ever seen.
