Hmmmm, no more Norge/Mont. Wards machines, need s new washer--just go to Sears... Sale on "just a washer"... (& gonna get something just as mediocre when the dryer breaks!)

Both these machines look to be in great shape. It looks like they stole the cord from the Wards dryer for the new dryer. Clever way to save 25 bucks.

On this wards dryer you have to raise the top. The cord connection was under the top of the machine, so that’s why the top is pried up. Someone probably didn’t use a dryer very much for that machine to still be around from the early 70s.

That dryer console looks way too familiar.  Too much like the demonic '67 gas model that made the laundry/family room smell like a big rig just drove through it and caused static video interference on the TV whenever the burner was lit.

Must have had a spark type igniter in it which caused interference with the TV whenever it kicked on. As for the smell, the burner wasn’t either adjusted properly or there was lint buildup inside the cabinet which caused it to smell whenever it was in operation.

A Norge washer died an early death...

Say it isn't so

If that Kenmore replaced the matching wards washer, the wards washer lasted over 20 years.

I would say the laundry appliances at this house had very little use.

Fool Me Twice; Shame on Me

My money is on the Snorge washer having taken itself out early on, and the Kenmore replacing whatever replaced the Snorge.  Our '67 gifted us a catastrophic Norge-torious transmission failure just after the one-year warranty ran out.  It was just us two kids and my parents in the household and my dad had a white collar job.  IMO, it didn't require much use to kill a Snorge,  The #1 Choice Among Discriminating Masochists From Coast to Coast!

dryer

I would love to have that dryer my mother had the matching washer in avacado and it lasted a dairy farm family for 15 years cleaning well. I wish i could get it to arkansas,

It’s just money. The machine can’t save itself. Lol

I have to admit the interior porcelain on the drum is attractive and the drum size looks rather carnivorous. I'm assuming this is the late 60's+ when they changed it from a great design into a very inferior design.

This one is early seventies. I have an avocado one with the same nice colored drum. They are nice and cavernous.

Norge dryer drum finish

This is just gray baked enamel, which is why you can tell the dryer wasn’t used that heavily. I have a occasionally but rarely seen a Norge dryer that lasted long enough to have a lot of the paint worn away like you see on an older whirlpool, and Kenmore dryers before they went to the epoxy finish in 1985.
