A gentleman is coming over to the house this weekend to take a look at the machine he said he has some parts and he wants to fix this machine ...he said he can fix anything and he fixes washer and dryer so he is going to do this!! I’m going to learn as well .. I will keep everyone posted thank you all for the encouragement I’m not getting rid of this I’ve been wanting this washer since I was eight years old.

P.S. he thinks it the transmission there’s a lot of rust I popped off the front

A Real Norge Washer June 1975

It looks pretty good to me, that amount of rust is pretty normal on one of these after only 10 years of use.

 

Other good news there is no sign that the main seal has been leaking so seal and top bearing might be OK, I have never seen a bad transmission on a Norge of the era.

I found a Norge

So I met a great guy named Dave he’s been fixing washers for over 30 years he said he’s worked on Norge washers before . we took the Norge apart.. he trouble shooted took off the belt removed the agitator... we did everything... the pully goes in one direction tight then the other direction loose for agitate he says it’s not the motor or transmission?? He’s determined to get this Norge running he’s coming back tomorrow my number is 716-804- 2336 if someone wants to call lol I’m going to wash in this Norge this week!!

Paul

very happy to see a member find their dream machine. Once you get it up and running your’e gonna love it even more. That machine looks to me to be in great shape for the age not much rust at all, its a keeper. Sounds like you found the right guy to help get back in shape. Like Norgeway says they are great cleaners. Would love to see your collection next time I’m driving through Buffalo!!

Keep posting your progress we will be watching with interest

I'm a bit confused

I see beautiful knobs, tubs, agitator, wires, motor and then suddenly a handsome guy.
Is there any issue with the latest google chrome release?
Just joking.
Looks like a great finding Paul. Lucky you!

Hi guys please can someone tell me how to download a video it won’t let me it’s what the repairman has to say regarding the pulleys on the Norge washing machine.

Paul, you'd have to transfer your video to YouTube then copy the link and post it here. You can make the video viewable only by those who have the link, if you like.

Thanks so much !!

That machine is cleaning up nicely. The enamel of the inner tub looks very nice. Console does not exhibit the wear of a high mileage machine, either.
I hope you will be able to clean up the base and inner cabinet.
It looks like you found a real gem.
Best wishes!

I found a NORGE

Hi everyone. The gentleman that came to fix the Norge washer is 99% that it is the transmission on the washer that needs to be fixed due to sitting for so long and only wanting to turn in one direction. He is in Buffalo and deals with hundreds of washers a week. He called his pick up guy and told him to keep an eye out for a Norge Washer of course he already threw one away this morning. SO I am in great need of a transmission for this "Particular NORGE washer" Is there any great guy out there that wants to be a transmission donor? Let me know I can pay and pay for it and the shipping. Let me know please then I can wash in the Norge soon. Thank you all. )
