Norgetag.  Given to me by a relative.  The mechanism had locked-up and they figured the worst so opted for a Whirly frontloader set.  Turned out to be a simple bad pump.  I disassembled and cleaned it up.  Also changed the fill flume, water valve, and of course the belt was worn from the jammed pump.  NOT impressed with the lid hinge arrangement that wears off the paint on rear edge of the lid.

Basket cleaning almost finished, notice the residue.

Bad rusting under the top at the fill flume.

"5 Speed Combinations" touted on the console is a mistake, unless I'm not understanding something.  There are four settings on the control.

"Quiet Pack" also is somewhat an exaggeration, LOL.

The machine is a beast. 

Norge-Noisy tranny.  The spin brake is vicious and has a squeal.

Pump-out rate is very fast.

No spray rinses, except one very brief spray 4 mins into the first spin on Perm Press, which is useless as a cool-down.  Final spin on Perm Press is EIGHT mins, including the first "drain" increment.

The designated Hand Wash runs a reasonably-short 2 min wash, but rest of the Regular/Delicate cycle is normal length, including a long 1st spin, a long agitated rinse (long for a hand-wash situation), and a long final spin.

Mine is a Maytag ''Ensignia'' model MAV2757AWW and I am currently in the process of repairing the transmission and will be sure to post pictures of the whole process after I am done! I have been meaning to ask some of the members on this forum, how do you get rid of rust? after taking mine apart im seeing some rust spots that I would like to touch up but im not really sure what to do...?
