Pilsnermonkey, could I trouble for some photos of your washer--control panel (upclose) to see the control details as well as shot of the interior of the washer itself. thank you very much. also, how long have you had the machine? What's it's history, if ya know it. Cool to have found another Norge around--there are some Norge fans here!!!

Unless the control panels were considerably different between Norge and Signature in 1967, I am thinking it's not a '67. My mom's Signature had a slanted panel, with selector buttons similar to those on Todd's machine, but with the newer white agitator. Maybe the agitator is the key to figuring out the exact age of PM's machine. I'm going to guess 1966.

A client of mine had a very similar set as your Norge from 1974. The panel had nearly identical graphics, etc. but was a step up with a speed selector dial in addition to infinite water level and four temp options. The burp-up white agitator didn't show up until around '69 or so, this washer was a '69 Her Majesty.

=( Replaced solenoid = no go. Tub still does not fill at beginning of wash/agitate cycle. It goes straight to agitate. The next cycle is supposed to be cool-down, but the timer/dial just hangs at that point. Any ideas much appreciated. | ||

Westward Solenoid
I do believe this is the same or VERY similar solenoid use in the GE Spotscrubber washer's Filter-Flo hose to cut the supply. How interesting!
You know, I've never seen a real Norge working in person... Which is odd because my extended family had a couple when I was growing up, but as I recall they were on the back porch in both occasions and not in service. I remember thinking how mean that black agitator looked in there, like an angry old lady with her hands on her hips. -Tim | ||

There are enough that have been able to be salvaged by club members you should some day finally get to see a real one. Especially after their perforated tub design came along, they were probably the best cleaning top loading automatics of their day. I didn't like the pre-programmed button cycles on our 1964 Norge. But everything else about the machine I loved and it washed some of the dirtiest laundry of our family's existence during that period. Norges were best for the greasiest, grimiest clothes. In terms of claning and capacity, the Frigidaire 1/18 was next in line.

I actually loved Lady Kenmores. I pined for the new Kenmore that replaced the Norge to be a Lady Kenmore, but knew my mom wouldn't go for it and so the Kenmore 800 was the compromise. I simply did not agree with 3 of the 8 buttons on the Norge. The only perfect pushbutton washers were the Lady Kenmores. It's how I taught myself to sort laundry and wash clothes (God knows my mother couldn't!!). Always the Lady Kenmore way. Nuff said!!!
