 Some of them do that after a while. Nothing to be concerned about. My brother and sister-in-law's Atlantis has been doing this for over 4 years. I certainly would not go through the trouble of replacing the brake on one of those machines. I've never done it, but I've heard and read it's somewhat involved. | ||

Noisey Norge-Tag brake Just like when real MTs do this you can try oiling the brake package, but like others mentioned the squeal will not ever cause a problem, in fact it is likely to be the least of the problems anyone ever has with one of these washers. I hope you are either selling this pair for a very low price or to someone that only does about 4 loads of laundry a month, LOL. | ||

Mine did this for a while Then it turned into a groaning sound as it braked. While replacing the transmission I cleaned the brake assembly, I sanded off some dust that had gathered on the brake and cleaned the stator with an SOS pad, then sanded it down a little as well but the noise is even worse now then it was before I cleaned it. | ||

Oil=BAD!
Unlike the Dependable Care Maytag, which is a 'wet' brake, the NorgeTag is a 'dry brake' like a car brake assy. It does not do well with oil. The only way to fix this is to either replace the rotor and clean the stator OR (if you get lucky) gently sand the pads on the rotor to break the glazing and clean the surface of the stator. Problem is, either way you go, the noise stands a good chance of returning. Just like a car brake which squeals a touch. It will function just fine as is and I usually tell the customer that it's not worth the money to correct it when there's a good chance it'll return with usage. I tell them to think of it as a 'end of cycle' signal...
