Must be two different washers, a NINE CYCLE and a FIFTEEN CYCLE...

All I had to do was read the above post's "FIFTEEN CYCLE" and I knew this thread had to be about a Snorge of some kind.  Then I clicked on the link.  BINGO!

 

I love the listing's verbiage about the machines having "numerous repairs" over the years to keep them running.  Just with a little old lady using them for her dainties.  Enough said.

 

Not in anyone's wildest dreams are those two clunkers worth $300.

Snorge

Westinghouse.  ;-)

 

The giveaway is the sculpted lid and the lack of the thick top panel that seemed to hallmark the Norges. I pity whomever had to do the "numerous repairs."  They suck to work on, beyond replacing the belt.  And even then, that still sucks.  :-)

 

I wonder what messed up that demonstrated some issues on its "numerous micro settings"?  We had a Westy top-loader that developed pissiness on spin, and we eventually chalked it up to nuttiness in the timer.  We used the repair/rebuild kit (pictured below) to resolve the issue.

Nate --

You know me.  A Ward's by any other name is still a Ward's.

 

I'm so glad we're on the same page about these, regardless of who is responsible for the criminal acts of engineering and manufacturing them.

 

Hey, isn't that the same repair kit that so effectively quieted the infamous Thundering Thermador?

It's a universal kit--works for most any make!  ;-)

 

Yes, I can understand your Wards-angst.  The control panels were so pretty, but it's like a beautiful car that lets you down.

 

My cousin drove a '68 Buick Electra 225 in high school and college.  I asked her how she remembered that car, and she made a funny expression.  I then asked if it was reliable, and she bit her lip.

 

"Well, I could RELY on it not to start when I desperately needed it."

 

Enough said.  :-)

Awww - hush, the lot of you! Lol Used gently, a standing repair appointment and 35 years later, we can still enjoy a bit of laundry history. At least let them have some dignity, they've made it this far. The panels are kind of pretty, reminiscent of the era (woodgrain) and from a distance the round timer graphics have shades of Speed Queen characteristics.

 

That's actually a Universal Repair Kit Nate has pictured, it can be used on most any brand :-)
