Full Cycle- 1962 Norge AW-220 load of whites

A load of whites in the Norge. Let's see how it does. Hope you all enjoy the video, thank you for watching.

[@petermaz701]

God bless this old girl, even with a large load like that, I kept my eye on a couple of pieces and that big old agitator managed to get them turned over and back up again. New equipment just don’t come close to these vintage work horses.

[@jeromedavis8575]

No, they don't! You should check out automaticwasher.org.

[@chnalvr]

I remember my grandmother owning this exact machine in the 1960s but it was a Montgomery Wards model, probably manufactured by Norge. That machine sounded like a full-blown factory when it was fired up and running! These were the washing machines we baby boomers grew up around. See, everything was tougher back then! lol The impeller machines today seem so wimpy to me.

[@welbyreherra3636]

Love your videos … thank you.

[@ericgreen2195]

This vintage washer is beginning to be my favorite. The wash action is great. Love the agitator and the tub.

[@maryrobert80]

Boy Tyler If I had the washers that you have in your basement, I'd never own one of these newer screwed up washers that they have out today ever again!!! Thanks for the video and have a great weekend!!!

[@jeromedavis8575]

We washer and dryer fans are a breed apart! And that doesn't mean we're homosexual either!

[@porcupinepunch6893]

​@@jeromedavis8575What is that supposed to mean?

[@williamslater-o5b]

Those old Norge washers never got the fanfare they deserved. They weŕ such work horses. Built solid. People comment that they were crude, load, and unattractive. Yeah, they let you know they were running, LOL, but its a washing machine,, not a contestant in a beauty contest. It washed the clothes. Thats what it was designed to do

[@johnalbanese30]

Unfortunately they weren't very reliable.

[@williamslater-o5b]

@johnalbanese30 I don't know about that. My aunts lasted 25 years with only a belt replacement .

[@johnalbanese30]

Your Aunt may have gotten a lucky one. Was your Aunt waher made by Borge Warner, or Mayco If made by Mayco then I can see it lasting 25 years.

[@tommyhill5109]

Why was this load so overloaded? There is no turnover to speake of. And was it designed for filter pan?

[@user-Cam-x7b]

My aunt also had one an it lasted 25 rs.. I am telling ya …it would practically spin our clothes dry.

[@muziklvr7776]

Wow, a one minute spray rinse before and after a deep rinse.

[@Goldenwoodz]

That agitator looks like an antique piece of decor 😂 love it

[@rileysteve]

They do better with smaller items than bully ones. The tub is small and the agitator is huge. The skirt is almost as big around as the bottom of the tub. So it may not have the best roll-over, but, look at that water. It will thrash the hell out of everything and I can tell you from experience it will clean the load every time. Incredibly effective rinsing also helps. These things are brutes. The electric version of pounding clothes on a rock.They were meant to wash factory and farm workers clothes. I don't bother to use the Delicate speed on my '62.

[@rileysteve]

Oh, and MOUNTAINS of stanky diapers!

[@Dog-Lover36]

You made some autocorrect error, which was bulky items.

[@rileysteve]

@@Dog-Lover36 Yeah. I saw that.

[@pony053]

Mom had Frigidaires, but Ms. Theinaman next door had a Norge. She spoke of it having "spin overflow rinse." Is this machine an example? The silly things I remember ....

[@FIRESTAR56566]

Can you also give a control panel tour please? I'd love to see that!

[@Gsohoover]

Next video I will do that.

[@WeHadOneOfThose]

Great vintage workhorse, is that what they call the "Burpalator" agi ? Certainly moves the load around, what powder do you use ?

[@Gsohoover]

Hello Mike, yes it's the Burpolator. I used tide with bleach for this load.

[@welbyreherra3636]

I love the Norge!

[@albertcarello619]

@welbyreherra3636: These NORGE WASHERS out cleaned all the other brands of washing machines made back in this era! Today's HE WASHING MACHINES don't come anywheres near in cleaning ability.

[@albertcarello619]

The NORGES with a perforated tub have a neutral drain.

[@welitongoncalves9354]

Mostra o mecanismo! Vc tem algum vídeo dela?

[@Gsohoover]

No longer have this washer

[@1989closed]

Can't beat the sound of the vintage Norges and GE Filter Flo. During the beginning of the rinse cycle, is it recycling the water that's being pumped in, or is it draining water out while pumping the water in?

[@Gsohoover]

It's filling for the rinse.

[@mylenh]

i thought speed queen was the first to reverse the wash action... nice

[@Bunkysworkshop]

Does it seem a little over loaded?

[@FIRESTAR56566]

Old washers can handle just about anything!

[@Gsohoover]

These have such a big agitator it more-so just thrashes stuff around instead of rolling it over.

[@christophermurray3825]

I like to see a load of colored towels with a blanket in the 1962 Whirlpool washer.

[@Gsohoover]

Possibly when I drag it back out for service.

[@dward6225]

Gone are those days my aunt had that same model when I was a child fond memories I recently purchased 3 of the wringer models 1 model I have has a timer with it which works I'm in the process of restoring it the other 1 I'm trying to find a motor for it the current one stalls the 3rd one is also without a timer I'm not sure if the motor works or not I'm using it for parts.

[@jeromedavis8575]

Nice washer! What kind of dishwasher do you have? I'd like to hear what a Westinghouse dishwasher sounds like. Also, if you still have the whirlpool washer, I'd love to see the inner workings in action. I'd also would love to see the inner workings of this washer in action too.

[@Gsohoover]

I have several dishwashers. A top load Whirlpool from the mid 60s is the only Whirlpool dishwasher I own. It needs some work. The '54 Whirlpool is out of commission for now

[@jeromedavis8575]

@@Gsohoover do you have a Westinghouse dishwasher? What brands do you have? I haven't heard a Westinghouse dishwasher before.

[@Gsohoover]

@@jeromedavis8575 I do not have a Westinghouse dishwasher. I have the Whirlpool, a Kenmore, Frigidaire, and several Kitchen Aids

[@jeromedavis8575]

When you get the whirlpool in full working order, I'd love to hear a full cycle run. I'd love to see the pumps in action and working from the underside.

[@warrenmacdonald1372]

Hi Tyler. Is that an adjustable knob on top of the agitator? If so, what does it adjust?

[@Gsohoover]

That's the screw cap for the agitator.

[@paulthomsen3788]

Would perfect with black screen.

[@squirrel6158]

tide???

[@kimberleytui179]

Looks like Ariel.

[@rileysteve]

Bulky*

[@Dougc3157]

I know it's vintage, but it is overloaded, and as a result you get poor cleaning action, as the clothes are being thrash about which causes wear on your clothing, I am being realistic here. It's a vintage machine you want it to last so be way with the machine.

[@patcola7335]

This agitator was known to do this. Look at the size of the base fins and the slower oscillation. This is how these washers cleaned.

[@Gsohoover]

This machine's agitator is so large it doesn't really turn stuff over. It just thrashes it around in the tub.

[@FIRESTAR56566]

@@Gsohoover You don't always need turnover for good cleaning. After all, Norge proved that.

[@kimberleytui179]

Slightly overloaded because poor rollover.
