Norge Arrives

[westyslantfront]

The Norge arrived this morning. I connected it. Aside from a small leak where the water enters the tub, it works great.
I put in a call to Dr. Manny so he will come and give the machine a check up.

Congrats on your new beautiful addition! I'm sorry I moved out of AZ, otherwise I would have been a frequent visitor bringing lots of laundry!

Ross, I admire the way you take care of your machines. Dr Manny keeps them all so healthy. Don

Hi Don- Dr Manny is a Godsend. He is more than a doctor...he is a surgeon....
Hi Bob- Congratulations on the Unimatic. It is a fun machine.
Please keep me posted.
Hi Todd-Hope to see you visit us in Arizona.

Congratulations, Ross! Beautiful machine. The agitator looks different...do you think it is an aftermarket replacement?

 

[westyslantfront]

Hi Rich. The agitator and cap are original as I remember them in my aunt's Norges. Roger and Nate are on their way over.

Ross, congratulations on one of your dream machines. It will be fun to play with, and who doesn't love solid tubs? Can't wait to see it in person!

Ross,
I am anxious to see it full of hot water and vestiments! I love the deep rumble and occasional clank the Norges make.

What is this?

Our guess is it's the old start relay for the motor. Maybe the motor's been replaced with one that has an integrated start switch of some sort? The wires to this have been disconnected and cut.

It lives up under the top ledge, in the center, underneath the control panel.

(Extra parts? Whatever it is, it can't be all that critical, because the machine works beautifully...)

Beautiful machine Ross! Glad it arrived safe and sound - and working too, how awesome!

The mysterious part is a relay, part of the Safety Spin Stop system. It allows the machine to operate in fill and agitation with the lid open and cut the power to the machine when the lid is raised during spin.

You should have this service manual on ebay!

Hi Greg. Thank you. I have placed a bid on the Norge manual.
Roger and Nate just left. The wires to that safety switch had been cut and the machine works ok without it.
