Re: What year it is ?

I'm going to say that I think it was proballey a 1980's to mid 80's somewhere around 83 I'm guessing.

Are these the Magic Chef ( pre maytag) or the Fedders made machines?

Norgeman, not really sure on the date but I think that these are early 80's. If I find out I'll post the actual date.

Recently acquired this set on E-bay. Both are in great shape and need no repair. In fact the guy was washing his sheets when I got there to pick them up. I guess he didn't have time the night before !!??

Just bought the exact dryer, not much info out there. Any chance you know the production year? I'm guessing 1983 based off the washer (Maytag) I bought and the history of the owners

Jim, what an awesome find! Norge/Wards has always been my favorite. Looking forward to videos.

Cheers,

Curious...
Why do they call it a "burpilator"?

 

[mrstickball]

Given that this is Norge, would it have a similar drivetrain to what Maytage acquired in the Magic Chef buyout - so eventually what would become a Maytag Performa?

Filtering isn't via flow by the motor-driven (drain) pump. There's a water-pumping channel in the agitator that on on the counterclockwise stroke spews water into the filter pan which sits on top. Thus, the agitator "burps" water into the filter.

I watched the video.
I don't like that type of filtering design at all.
And how efficient would it "burp" with a low water level?
It does have a nice fast draining before the spin, but that's it.

I didn't think so.
My Maytag doesn't filter on low water level either.
But I rarely use that setting, mostly medium, large, or extra large.
