[rickr]

Looking good! Thanks for the cool pixs.

If i remember correctly

you can turn the water level control to low or exra low to get almost all of the water to drain out before the spin. Always loved how the spray starts so early and flushes suds and stuff right off the clothes. Love your picutre 193559 the xtreme close up of the rinse where the water looks like ice-- just awesome!!

Another Norge excell: When most machines gave more than a half tub of wATER AT "LOW" NORGE will give you genuinely low water levels.

I love them; they are TANKS.

Norge!

Real nice washer. My Grandmother had a Wards model and just like this one. I always loved the wash action and the machine washed real well.

Thanks for the pictures. I remember those machines from Macy's on 34th Street. Always loved that aggressive looking agitator. Didn't CU always give them high marks for washing vigor and very effective extraction?

btw

What's that crescent of white plastic on the lower LH side of the tub rim?

btw- that's the famous Norge QUARTER MOON


BLEACH DRAWER/DISPENSER ! I think it's really more along the lines of a bleach diffuser since it just allows bleach to
go between the inner and outer tub

pans

on a different note

Does repairclinic have bigger pan and FS dispensers that I can get for my norge mw

named Pulsator J in honor of Jamie since he had a Bradford that is similar

Which Norge is this? Do you have a pic of the console?

 

[rinso]

CU did indeed give Norge's high marks for cleaning ability as they had/have a very vigorous agitation. Good points included capacity, water extraction, and tub brake performance. According to CU, the downsides were that it was noisier than most, "The tub brake makes a loud clank at the end of cycles," tended to lint more than others tested, (need to use low speed wash with knits in this baby) water consumption was high.

I had two of these machines and loved both of them, but they really are built like tanks, starting with their 3/4 horsepower motor.

Re: Norge

I just love a Norge and rinso you are right these washers were built like a tank. The 3/4 hp. motor would not bog down under heavy loads. I had a Montgomery Wards/Norge and it was by far the best machine we have ever owned. My Wife and I used to have yards sales and sell off the kids baby clothes and people used to ask us how we got our clothes so clean and I used to tell them it was the brand of washer we had and it was the strongest in the industry. One thing people need to understand it never overload always put enough in to do a full load but never so much that rollover is limited. This will aid in the longeveity of the machine. Thanks for listening. Danf.

hehe...I'm going to have a bumper sticker made and it's going to say

"Just look at that action!!!"

Here's a picture of the control panel. Also, If you check back in the thread archives, look for post #10253 dated 2/4/07 and headed by "NORGE 20 LB SET". There are a lot of pics I posted of the set including the control panels.

Thanks ---- Jim

Fun machine! Didn't realize that the burpilator filter was still in use on these later machines. What year is this? Anyone know?

Looks to be in very good original condition. Thanks for the pixs Fridgiman!
