When I was a wee child we had one of those Crosleys. It was old but worked great until the thermostat failed in the "on" position one weekend when we went out of town. On our return Sunday night we were greeted by a dead refrigerator and a faint burning smell throughout the kitchen - it had gotten hot enough to char the wood floor under the linoleum. I think it was replaced by a Kelvy but can't recall for sure.
