COOL!! The motor must have some kind of wheel or tire below the motor to drive the pump? Looks like it moves on that rubber flange connecting the pump to the tub? Does it run? More pictures!! Video!!
I'm guessing it is a diaphram water level control and pump from a Norge,
Sorry, try again.
Whats that black box beside the water level switch
It protects electrical contacts to a component that sticks into the tub and is energized at certain times during the cycle.
Is this an early direct drive machine?
I would say that is true statement.
The gasket on that water Pump looks like a donut!
Not as tasty though.
Did you buy a 1,000 ft roll of Howard Johnson Orange wire??
That wire is original to the machine, I've never used orange wire before, except for new orange power cords. Did you put something extra in your fruit smoothie this morning dear?
