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. |

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.

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 :-) |
