I don't believe its a "condenser" but rather an "air/blower" dryer ...... I am sure it takes quite awhile to dry whereas the spin speed on the washer is so slow ..... |

Beautiful machine - would love to see one in action. I'd love to get a peek at that 'cast aluminum' dryer element in the front of the drum, very interesting... This was a cold water condensing dryer - cold water flows over the back of the outer drum, air circulated by the rear-mounted fan passes over the cold surface of the water which condenses the moisture and lint, then pumped down the drain. Hotpoint used a similar system in their never produced(?) combo. Studying the parts book for this machine, the drive system looks very complicated - a tranny, 4 belts and 9 pulleys! |

Altho I never did see this machine in action, a neighbor at the end of the street had one. I knew it was a Norge simply by the sampe of the door, like the front load washer at the Norge Cleaning Village. I did get to "play" with it in that I got to open the door and play like it was running by turning the drum. This house also had the first Superba KA I'd vever seen--the same on jetcone has in his kitchen--the 3 push puttons. I only got to be in this house one time, for an evening while my parents played bridge with the owning couple. Unfortunately, the family moved BACK to California not too long after that and I never got to see the inside of the house again, much less the combo. I do remember comparing it to the LK Cobo next to us--NO DISPENSERS!! Yuck.

I don't ever remember seeing one of these. I wonder what years they marketed them? Anyone know? |
