Cinci to Akron Ohio Norge

[akronman]

here's more

this is the other dryer wall, an 04 or so Kenmore with moisture sensors, gas model, and a 1975 DE606 I rebuilt. All work well, get de-linted annually, but electric rates tell me to use the DE606 sparingly. It is my favorite for dress shirts, I can get a way without ironing unless I'm headed to a funeral or wedding.

What the "peace" symbol on the program knob means?

"This pic shows the description,<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Energy Sentry is the peace symbol</span>, DOUBLE KNITS is the rectangle. I have machines with knit cycles, not double knits. The camera date is way way off, these pics are from 5 minutes ago..."

Top 5 for Washer Drama

Hey mrb627, what are the other four?

My SWAG:

1) Kelvinator/ABC-O-Matic
2) Unimatic Frigidaire
3) Western Auto Wizard
4) Solid Tub GE Filter-Flo

BTW, I do agree that the Norge in this thread is arguably the best washer ever.

I love the full selection of wash/spin speed combinations. Most manufacturers did not offer a slow agitate with normal spin speed combo. (both my Norge and Wards are the only ones in my collection with that particular option)

spin rpm

in my 1982 monkey wards catalog,the spin rpm for the norge machines is given as
640 rpm-pretty fast,especially considering the washbasket diameter.
BTW the tub capacity for the norge dryers was given as 8 cubic feet-large even by
recent "supersize"standards.

peek at basement

Hi Mark, I too, would like to see your basement sometime, as we do have a connection-- our appliances appeared on stage together! Jeff

I notice the Soak cycle is marked in reverse for soak time, apparently as an indication of how much soak time has elapsed from the start.  But why?
