Those old Norges were really popular back in the 50's. In part I think because Consumer Reports rated them so highly. They washed very well in comparison with most other machines back then. It's a shame they didn't have a better pump on them. That seems to have been a real weak point with those machines. If they had a better pump they would have lasted much longer than most of them did, since the rest of the machine seems to have been pretty well built.

Martin I'm "ver-klempft".  I've never seen a Timeline with a cold wash selection.

Cold water

Me too, Bob!  I noticed that the other night, I figured it might be a lower-end model from 57-58?

heres a better question......what's the 'off' do on the water temp selection?

designed for water level selections......but then remember to turn back on for the rinse?....

"Off" on water temp knob

Martin, that's like being the Master Power Switch to the whole machine.  On the original Duomatics, the water temp knob was also the master power switch.  On our 1956 GE (that looked like the FF model we see in the ads touting this new feature and like Jetcone's in his collection), our model looked just like the model that was FF, but didn't have a FF.  The buttons where you selected water temp were "off", "warm", "hot" and "water saver".  The "off" allowed you to pause the machine in mid-cycle without having to pull the plug.  Timer dial didn't push or pull to start or stop machine.  This is a BOL model?  I wouldn't think with cold wash option.
