Hit the jackpot again !!!

[70series]

I remember seeing these BOL models at Sears back in 1978/1979. I thought it was so cool they had the dark plain tub, and no instructions on the lid interior. Glad to see one of these surface.

Have a good one,
James

Hit the jackpot again !!!

Today I picked up the NORGE left the kenmore behind totally seized up at the estate sale home and I tossed the other kenmore out thank you all for your good words this is my second Norge. I’m giving up on belt driven kenmore/whirlpool washers too much trouble.

Hi Paul,

Congrats on the Norge! I hope it is a winner for you.

Shame that the ‘72 700 was too rusty to enjoy.

Do you know if the other Kenmore is still accessible at the estate sale? It being totally locked up doesn’t bother me and I’d like to see what I can make of it. If you can email me with contact info, or list it here for the estate sale, I will see what I can do to get it on its way here.

Thanks in advance Paul!

Hi Kenmoreguy64 Gordon. I am not sure if my buddy still has the washer I can find out. the kenmore did go into spin fine only on one of the two cycles. After the last nightmare kenmore I lugged out of the basement I just do not have thing for belt driven kenmore/whirlpool models. The rust and the problems. But if you would like to find out more I will text him today thank you, Paul. The Norge works beautifully I test drive these machines before I take them. I so appreciate all of the help on this website

Hi Paul!

Yes, absolutely, if you can find out if that machine is still available I would love to know! I would be happy to communicate directly if it is still available, that way you don’t have to be the messenger in-between.

THANK YOU for your willingness to help!

Gordon

Yay Paul another Norge saved

Paul, you definitely have luck finding Norges that work, most Kenmores or whirlpools that are 40+ years old are going to be rebuilding, most Norges are just plain long gone, but there’s always the occasional machine that survives because it wasn’t used much.

Having rebuilt several hundred belt Dr. whirlpools in Kenmores to me that so much easier machine I’ve only ever done major repairs on about five Norges and all of them were a pain in the neck.

But I do love the way Norge works when you get a good one.

Hope you enjoy it, John.

wow, one or two Whirlpool BDs that had some rust problems and you're already out of the game on those. hmmmmm

Wait until you find a gunked up GE FF. Or a Maytag that's leaking oil out the bottom.

Hi again, Paul! This is wonderful news!

I should be able to get the machine out of there quickly. I tried to send you an email just now, although it bounced back. I can be reached at [email protected]. Let’s communicate soon, and we’ll get the washer out of your way ASAP.

Thank you again, this is so awesome!
