co-worker grabbed this 2006 Norgetag at the curb and brought it to me to evaluate repair worth:turned out corrosion had built up between the aluminum hub and plastic basket,causing the basket to wobble and wear a hole in the outer tub-spilling water that was getting on the belt and bringing washer to a halt.Removing the corrosion got basket turning true again and a chunk of plastic and some silicone rubber fixed the leak-pump bearing was very noisy,so replaced with spare salvaged from an Atlantis.Very cheaply made washer,but quiet and washed good-will see duty in a rental now :)
