This washer is the reason why I am into washing machines at all. When I was like 4 years old, my grandma had this machine. I'd always want to play with the lint ring for some reason. lol
Had a Norge washer just like this one when I was a child..... & it did a fantastic job of getting dirty laundry very clean. It was very dependable too!
The Norge and Montgomery-Ward by Norge were two unsung heroes. Those machines were solid as a Sherman tank. They were a bit loud, but that's fine by me. I personally never trusted a washer that didn't make some noise.
Neutral drain is until the water level pressure switch resets, at which point the brake release solenoid energizes. The purpose probably is for the load to settle down before spin begins to reduce the chance of off-balance, instead of floating freely and potentially bunching together into a lump.
I said before in another montgomery ward washer video. This washing machine sounds like the washer the babysitter had when i was a kid. She would let us play with our toys in the laundry room.
Hey what's up ? Do you know if this is Borg Warner or Fedders built ? I think by 1969 Fedders bought Norge from BW. We had a 20lb Norge from the early 70s. Same agitator as this. Was a very good cleaner but EXTREMELY loud. A 3/4 h.p. motor would do that I guess.
No one is talking about a direct drive. All Whirlpool did was remove twe pulleys, and a belt. They connected the motor to the transmission with a plastic clip, and connected the pump to the other end of the motor. All to save a few pennies. The actual cleaning has nothing to do with how the motor is connected to the transmission.
