Yes VHQ meant Very High Quality. This is the first time I've seen a good inside photo of one of these washers that's still the old design (filter stream and water entering on the left (vs. burp-up & water entering where this filter stream comes in). I"m so used to the big ol' bakelite black agitator of our Norge15 Dispensomat, which have very large fins at the bottom and it splashed a helluva lot on ex-lo water level and any water level below mediu, pretty much sloshed the clothes back and forth with not a lot of turnover, unless it was a very small load. So, due to my rambling, but, I still think the small fins at the bottom managed to cause quite a bit of turbulence which washed the smaller loads very well. And the large loads got movedf with that intense, big arc agitation with those large fins towawrd the top. Kenny, can I see a photo of the rest of the control panel? THanks, Bob | ||

I agree Appnut, i think overall, though i didn't see it at the time, that the Norge was probably the best washer that i used. Amazing tub capacity for an early seventies machine at 20 lb. no less. I would love to have that Norge back again. | ||

agitator
Mom had a similar machine in 73/74 with 8 or 9 pre-programmed settings/cycles that adjused water temp and speeds. I liked the agitator, in that the bottom vanes created enough turbulence to get up most of the way. Then the larger fins at the top would make/create more turbulence where the bottom fins would not reach. It had a nice long stroke and a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. (giggle) They really were nice machines. The one I knew died of an oil leak too!! | ||

The timer on our Norge went bad and would continually go through the cycles without shutting off. It was my mom's favorite machine. | ||

Agitator sweep "The sweeps on the agitator were long if I remember right." 210 degrees, something they touted in their advertising | ||

I just LOVE SS. That timer dial rocks my world! What are the two cycles, can't quite make it out. Mom's had a regular and a pre-wash cycle. As as I said earlier, the speeds were controlled by the pre-programmed buttons. Pre-wash ==> Fill-wash-drain-spin Other than the huge "CLUNKS" of the spin solenoid engaging, it was a good machine. Mechanically it resemtbed a Maytag to the point that I believe the drive-belt was also below/underneath the base. | ||

I loved my aunt's Norge washer. It had a suds saver. When you would start the washer on the suds return cycle, the agitator would splash and kick up a tremendous amount of suds. Actually, the lid lock was engaged during the suds return cycle. But by then, I knew how to defeat it.:D | ||

Lid lock ? I never knew Norge made machines with lid locks. Anybody know what years Norge made lid locks on their washers? | ||

Lid lock only worked on spin and suds return cycles. | ||
