NORGE DISHWASHERS

HI Peter thanks for all the great scans. The first sort of odd looking Norge DWs were made by Fedders-Norge-Tappan?. The second set of scans were the more common D&M built machines. Neither one were very durable machines but very interesting all the same.
 
YA GOT ME--YA GOT ME GOOD

Crazy about Norge, but never knew they made a dishwasher. The Turbo wash system is fabulous--wouldn't that be something to see thru a glass door.

 

Norge's washing ability was rated #1 so often with their big 4 paddled agi, and then the burpolator, little wonder they'd have an amazing wash system ib their DW's.

 

Just look at that thing.
I hope one of you lucky DW hunters will put that on your dream list. Maybe John has one in the far depths of the warehouse, or in the secret sub-basement.

Learn something new every day, and today it's huge. Thank you.

Back staring at the wash system

makes me think of the 1-18 jet spray--upsidedown, in stereo, and on steroids.
 
"The Norge Nuts"

One of my friend's parents were "Norge Nuts"! They had an avocado green Norge top-mounted-freezer refrigerator--of which you clearly saw: N | O | R | G | E on the freezer door...

Their dishwasher, I believe was also a Norge & portable, (also avocado) although I never saw it hooked up & running (& I believe that it might have been "plumbed-in" to its "home" under a counter, adjacent to the sink)...

They had a "No-Name" brushed-chrome 4-bu. electric cook-top, & a brushed-chrome Frigidaire wall-oven, which had french doors (& I remember my friend's mom showing off the neat things oven did, like the automatic baking, & I think self-cleaning--it was real FANCY!)...

The harvest gold washer & dryer, (a gas dryer--"mom" lifted the trap-door at the bottom & let me see the flame while it was drying!) however, after long-thinking they were Norge, however, turned out to be Montgomery Ward Signature; top of the line models, at that! I saw the pair ("Mom" NEVER let us in the laundry room/furnace room/utility area of the basement on a reg. basis!) thrown out & next to a pair of Sears Kenmore cardboard boxes, the "new" laundry pair came in, when they moved out & the new family took ove...r (& that fancy built-in oven was the next thing sitting on the lawn for the garbage man, years later!) In fact, I remember the green Norge fridge becoming a white Side X Side w/ Ice & Water dispenser, (when I made friends w/ the new family that moved in) too!

"They had a "No-Name" brushed-chrome 4-bu. electric cook-top"

Are you sure that wasn't a GE? For a while around 1970 we lived in a house that had been built circa 1965, and it had a brushed-chrome 4-burner electric cooktop and it was a GE. I remember that because it had a red "GE" logo that lit up whenever a burner was on.
 
There was NO logo what-so-ever, on that cooktop! Just four burners & a set of knobs at the very front, arranged like the burners were front-to-back, right-to-left, corresponding w/ each "eye"...

And I think Elvis's cooktop at GRACELAND is the same one--and I even have the pop-up-book--only his has a "middle griddle"...! --For fryin' more of those Peanut Butter & Banana sandwiches! He has a Tappan Fabulous 400 Electric Range, a Basic Kitchen Aid (possibly a Custom or maybe Deluxe) dishwasher, and of course, a "Custom Crafted" Side X Side w/ the Ice Chute...! Which another couple of friends of mine had long ago--after replacing the old 1950's white Hotpoint set w/ NEW Hotpoints, in 1970's harvest gold!

And back to the "Norge Nuts": The one thing I think that really pushed the "Norge-quota" was a single-door fridge in the basement, used as a "second food storage nook", though I remember seeing it virtually empty, but at least on possibly the lowest setting (to keep the freon moving)...
