I never saw these models before but from what I was told Norge actually made them and they were out in the 70's - has anyone had any experience?

I'll bet that Hans "Norgeway", and Nate "Roto204" would love to have one of these machines in their collections.

NORGE DISHWASHERS

combo52's profile picture
HI Peter thanks for all the great scans. The first sort of odd looking Norge DWs were made by Fedders-Norge-Tappan?. The second set of scans were the more common D&M built machines. Neither one were very durable machines but very interesting all the same.

YA GOT ME--YA GOT ME GOOD

Crazy about Norge, but never knew they made a dishwasher. The Turbo wash system is fabulous--wouldn't that be something to see thru a glass door.

 

Norge's washing ability was rated #1 so often with their big 4 paddled agi, and then the burpolator, little wonder they'd have an amazing wash system ib their DW's.

 

Just look at that thing.
I hope one of you lucky DW hunters will put that on your dream list. Maybe John has one in the far depths of the warehouse, or in the secret sub-basement. Wink

Learn something new every day, and today it's huge. Thank you.Laughing

Back staring at the wash system

makes me think of the 1-18 jet spray--upsidedown, in stereo, and on steroids.

OMG, Love Norge, but can't believe their bragging about how quiet those dishwashers are...hopefully no "clunks" or "bangs" like their washers (which I love!)

The timer dial makes it truly look like a DM.As well as the dual spray arms.

"The Norge Nuts"

daveamkrayoguy's profile picture
One of my friend's parents were "Norge Nuts"! They had an avocado green Norge top-mounted-freezer refrigerator--of which you clearly saw: N | O | R | G | E on the freezer door...

Their dishwasher, I believe was also a Norge & portable, (also avocado) although I never saw it hooked up & running (& I believe that it might have been "plumbed-in" to its "home" under a counter, adjacent to the sink)...

They had a "No-Name" brushed-chrome 4-bu. electric cook-top, & a brushed-chrome Frigidaire wall-oven, which had french doors (& I remember my friend's mom showing off the neat things oven did, like the automatic baking, & I think self-cleaning--it was real FANCY!)...

The harvest gold washer & dryer, (a gas dryer--"mom" lifted the trap-door at the bottom & let me see the flame while it was drying!) however, after long-thinking they were Norge, however, turned out to be Montgomery Ward Signature; top of the line models, at that! I saw the pair ("Mom" NEVER let us in the laundry room/furnace room/utility area of the basement on a reg. basis!) thrown out & next to a pair of Sears Kenmore cardboard boxes, the "new" laundry pair came in, when they moved out & the new family took ove...r (& that fancy built-in oven was the next thing sitting on the lawn for the garbage man, years later!) In fact, I remember the green Norge fridge becoming a white Side X Side w/ Ice & Water dispenser, (when I made friends w/ the new family that moved in) too!

"They had a "No-Name" brushed-chrome 4-bu. electric cook-top"

Are you sure that wasn't a GE? For a while around 1970 we lived in a house that had been built circa 1965, and it had a brushed-chrome 4-burner electric cooktop and it was a GE. I remember that because it had a red "GE" logo that lit up whenever a burner was on.

There was NO logo what-so-ever, on that cooktop! Just four burners & a set of knobs at the very front, arranged like the burners were front-to-back, right-to-left, corresponding w/ each "eye"...

And I think Elvis's cooktop at GRACELAND is the same one--and I even have the pop-up-book--only his has a "middle griddle"...! --For fryin' more of those Peanut Butter & Banana sandwiches! He has a Tappan Fabulous 400 Electric Range, a Basic Kitchen Aid (possibly a Custom or maybe Deluxe) dishwasher, and of course, a "Custom Crafted" Side X Side w/ the Ice Chute...! Which another couple of friends of mine had long ago--after replacing the old 1950's white Hotpoint set w/ NEW Hotpoints, in 1970's harvest gold!

And back to the "Norge Nuts": The one thing I think that really pushed the "Norge-quota" was a single-door fridge in the basement, used as a "second food storage nook", though I remember seeing it virtually empty, but at least on possibly the lowest setting (to keep the freon moving)...
