spray rinses

I can't recall correctly, but i believe the early seventies Norge's had four spray rinses per spin. Reminded me of Kenmore washers.

Ours also had the semi-neutral drain also. All in all a great workhorse and very well built. I know blah,blah,blah LOL.

I just LOVE SS. That timer dial rocks my world!
What are the two cycles, can't quite make it out.

Mom's had a regular and a pre-wash cycle. As as I said earlier, the speeds were controlled by the pre-programmed buttons.

Pre-wash ==> Fill-wash-drain-spin

Other than the huge "CLUNKS" of the spin solenoid engaging, it was a good machine. Mechanically it resemtbed a Maytag to the point that I believe the drive-belt was also below/underneath the base.

Gentle and regular,regular being the longer of the two.

I loved my aunt's Norge washer. It had a suds saver. When you would start the washer on the suds return cycle, the agitator would splash and kick up a tremendous amount of suds. Actually, the lid lock was engaged during the suds return cycle. But by then, I knew how to defeat it.

Lid lock ?

I never knew Norge made machines with lid locks. Anybody know what years Norge made lid locks on their washers?

 

[goatfarmer]

Only machines I remember with locking lids were Westinghouse,and their WCI counterparts.

Lid lock only worked on spin and suds return cycles.
