WP Electronic DD set-any thoughts?

[extmaxspin]

Will be picking these up this week, as they looked too unique to pass up. I'm definitely more a KM guy, and traditionally lean toward the BD era but these called to me.

Anyone have any thoughts or input? Supposedly everything works on both, so I'm hoping to just give them a good cleaning and put them to work.

Wow!! I don't think I've ever seen this washer.

It's a seldom-seen WP model.  I have the service manual Washers and Dryers with Fifth Generation Solid State Electronic Control Systems.  There was a KA sibling.

"These controls were introduced on Whirlpool washer model LSE9355BZ0 and dryer model LE/GE9848BZ0 and KitchenAid washer model KAWE977BWH0 and dryer model KE/GYW977BWH0."

B is 1994 model-year.

Congratulations! It would call to me, too.

Lurvly, but they couldn't put a light on the control panel?

The dryer hails from the early eighties. I didn’t know the washer existed either. Congrats on a great find!

WP EC washer:

Wow! I never knew that washer existed. Very cool machine and definitely TOL. That dryer is a solidly built TOL workhorse as well. Nice find!

Keep us posted with pictures and video's!

I’ve seen the matching early 80s washer

But sadly never seen it operate. My aunt had the set in a hallway closet with accordion doors, which she kept closed while she washed. I would hear it beep when finished but I just couldn’t run and open the doors in front of everybody (as a child) I would have gotten looks, as this aunt had rules
