Maybe the little door was for the optional hair dryer bonnet. I guess you did not need the drum running for drying hair. Jon |

Jon, our 1963/1964 TOL Norge Dryer didn't have a little door on top like the one in the POD. Thus my thought as to why it was a sprinkler resevoir. That as popularized feature with WP, Kenmore, Maytag and Frigidaire TOL models. The Norge pair in the POD ad was like 1962 or 1963, the last of the solid tub Norge washers. From what I remember from our literature from the dryer, you pulled the lever on the Stop'n'Dry feature to stop the tub tumbling. Then the hair dryer somehow locked itself inside the dryer door opening. The dryer in the ad had the S'n'D lever at the top of the door opening with a pull lever. On our dryer, it was on the control panel and essentially mirrored the washer panel, with the dryer stop tumble lever where the water level slider was on the panel.
