Un-flippin'-believable... I threw a load of freshly Time-Line washed clothes into the 55 Norge Time-Line dryer, turned the dial and... nothing! Nada! Rien du tout! Lights came on but no motor movement or sounds. I must have been very bad to dryers in a past life or Appliance Karma is out to get me. The 53 Westinghouse is probably going to get swapped back into service... assuming IT doesn't decide to rebel on me. I don't much care for this unlucky streak.... Rant over. Carry on....

The 53 Westy did not let me down. I would have been most disappointed if it had (and by disappointed I mean "white hot murderous rage"). Time to diagnose the non-cooperative Norge....

Does the door switch click when pressed? |

As my buddy Andy Rubenoff used to say, "These things are just supposed to work".
Even though you are my Arch Nemesis, this shouldn't happen to you.

Is that a feature for the deaf user, not to make fun of those who cannot hear. One of the Bushes was described as a blind man in a room of deaf people. |

I had been stewing all week over the Norge dryer conking out on me and when reviewing my restoration pictures I noticed the Fusetron socket hidden by the lint trap access door. I thought to myself "Could the fuse be bad?" It was... changed it and the dryer motor started right up again! Funny thing about fuses is they can be bad even if they don't appear to be "blown". Nonetheless, I am very happy the Norge Laundry Maids will be a couple once again. The 53 Westy Laundromat did look lonely though... I may have to bring it back into service in the spring. |

Advertising jingo, apparently from 1967, that we saved from a dealer magazine. Just a skinny plastic sheet, for playing at 33-1/3.
I should put a coin on it and play it. I think I still remember the tune.
