'64 Norge WASH VIDEO finally

[gregm]

I tried to upload this months ago and now thanks to youtube.com I finally can share this video, I LOVE the wash action of the Norge. Its my favorite.

spin spray vid

ok, this is pretty funny, this is the semi-spin/extract phase first during drain then the high speed spin kicks in and watch the filter come lose and fall into the tub, then spray rinse, cracks me up, shows it doesn't take much to amuse me .............

Ejecto-Matic! Norges version of a self-cleaning filter. Love the video Greg, thanks for posting it. And LOVE that Norge washer!

Was that a lint filter or a fabric softener dispenser????? <:

Greg - thanks for posting these videos! I just love how the Norge washes, very entertaining. How many OPM does this machine rate at - a good guess is just fine with me!

[gregm]

self cleaning, haha

perfect Jimmy, "self-cleaning" indeed ............ does your Norge oscillate as fast ? I am sure it washes just as well. Thanks for your comment

Thanks for the vids, Greg! It's always fun to see a vintage machine in action. But can you imagine what must go through the mind of a non-washerhead who stumbles on washer vids at YouTube? "What the hell? It's a video of a FREAKIN' WASHING MACHINE!" LOL!

Norge!

Hi Greg,
The Norge really kicks up a storm. Thanks so much for posting. Seems like the filter went flying during spin.
Best Wishes
Peter

What a neat way to clean a lint filter Greg!! Really neat videos. Terry

flying filter

yea, now, I remove the filter during the spin portion, until I figure a way to secure it, it has a couple chips in it, hahaha, now we know why ...........

Hi Greg, EXCELLENT video, thanks for sharing!!! While I knew perforated-tub Norges agitated faster than their solid-tub counterparts, your '64 is much faster than I thought and the turnover looked great; to say that I'm impressed is an understatement! Will that BIG spiral-vane fit in this one?

I didn't realize these machines started out on low-speed spin after the partial neutral drain and then shifted to high, amazing!

Greg, boy does this bring back memories of a 10.5 y/o boy. The agitation, the small walls of water bouncing back & forth as the top of the agitator fins bats those waalls back & forth and the little bit splashing up to the ring just above on the agitator. I have to admit, our sequence was a bit different. It would drain, a totally neutral drain, then about 20 seconds before the next timer increment move, it would kick into spin and ramp right on up through the "whatever govenor type thing" used as the plateau for the slow spin and continue up to fast spin then the clutch would disengage and it would start coastin and then the spray would come on. As ours got older, the coasting took fewer and fweer seconds--as did the comparable Moneky Wards across the street. And pretty abysmal as a perm press cool down intent with the slow speed spin. did the filter pan survive? Thanks for the memories. Would you mind panning the control panel again so Ican see all the detail? Bob

 

[gregm]

same bob

same drain/extract/spin sequence on this machine as you describe, just not well seen in the vid.

Ys sirree Greg, that is indeed a 1964. That was a model down a notch or two from our TOL. The gentle speed cycle is where our soak cycle and the suds return on the timer were. And thank you for clearing up the sequence. It just threw me that it seemed to take forever to get up to speed where the spin would kick into normal. Hang on to that washer Greg, it's very rare. BTW, there was a silver looking thing that went inside the timer knob, but didn't have hte red "indicator" similar to the smaller temp & level knobs.

RINSE video

Here is the fill and start to the rinse agitation, again, I truly love the turnover and vigorous action of this machine. Plus Norge has all the great clunks, bangs and sounds.

Oy!

Love those vids, Greg. And some of us with Westinghouse-design top-loaders feel your pain about the lint filter. My Frigidaire faux 1-18 loved to present me with the lint filter floating in the rinse water with astonishing regularity...

*sigh*

It was invariably clean at the end of it all, though...

2 Questions

#1. Is this a Fedder's Norge?
#2. Is this one of the machines that mocked the Montgomery Ward?

 

[gansky1]

Excellent videos, Greg - those Norges are a treat to see running, lots of water and even more drama with the limp-filter syndrome that was common to these non-burp up designs. I had a couple of Montgomery Ward (Norge built) washers but got rid of them and now regret it!
