In Roanoke has one, I think it washes as good as a Norge, Really WASHES!!! I loved those dryers with the cross tumbling , it wont roll sheets up in a ball.

Norge

was Norge and Searcy the same? aka, Maytag Performa line? They both had the same thick top back in the 90's. Same as Gibson washers.

Awesome machine. Amazing how you can find the ones that clean up so nicely

"The timer wouldn't advance as one of the gears was stripped, but luckily I had saved some timer parts that matched and was able to fix it." - I am impressed, but not surprised in the slightest.

Great find!

I have always had a soft spot for the Westinghouse washers both front and top load.  I always found that the top load washer had a certain smell to them after doing a few loads of laundry back to back. A good smell.  Just distinct. 

I really like the Gas Westinghouse dryers from this period.  I never used an electric one so I have no opinion of them.

Great find for you guys!

I'm surprised you've not had one of these in the house before, I guess they are a rather rare find.   I think the matching dryer showed up in Shopper's Square the other day, it's not too late...

 

Do you remember this one we brought home from Early back in '03?  Bad spin bearing, sounded like a freight train.  Still a great washer, and two minute spin rinser.    Westinghouse had their problems, but they always made cool washers.

Nice find! I have the same set pre-White-Westinghouse in Avocado I'm assuming is from '74 or '75 with the pistachio blue agitator. Interesting how they omitted the waterfall lint trap from your washer. Also curious about the stroke speed of agitation. Mine is fairly brisk and does a great job. They went to a slower stroke speed and I would imagine that did nothing to help. Not the best dryer I've used but it's pretty large in capacity. Just takes forever to dry heavy stuff.

Beautiful set, love the Westinghouse washers...hey Danmantn, here's an opportunity to get a regular and handwash deep ramp agitator.
