These were good refrigerators by this time, but the top freezer No Frost models were seldom this long lived. The big down fall of the NF models was the flat evaporator that sat in a Styrofoam separator, the whole thing would start degrading by 20 years of age and it was downhill from there. Luckily this one is the manual defrost freezer version which was far more durable in the long run, about the worst problems we used to see with these was wet collapsed insulation above the freezer and wet insulation under the refrigerator section.
The good thing is that it was all just fiber-glass insulation and if you really wanted to you could pull the liners out of these old boxes and replace the wet insulation, [ we did it a few times ]. In spite of being a manual defrost freezer these still were not not very energy efficient, it would still use 2 to 3 times the power of a new FF refrigerator. |

....is my daily-driver refrigerator. A non-FF 1965 GE in turquoise. This one in the ad is missing the little metal wire shelf that fits into grommets in the freezer compartment and lets you store items over the ice trays. Now...why no pic of the fridge interior?
A great performer and good on energy, too. I've had my kill-a-watt on it in the past and have the numbers at home, but it's on the order of 5 or 6 bucks a month energy usage. -Cory |

In that case, I retract my original statement. A second look at the freezer shows some frost build-up in the usual location, top front.
I think the seller should state in the ad copy that this isn't a frost-free model. These days, many people don't know what it is to defrost a refrigerator, and will assume they don't have to. |

The big advantage for me is that I'm served by a local public utility and that I'm on the All-Electric plan (which, oddly, allows gas dryers, furnaces and water heaters).
You're right about Hawaii, highest in the nation! According to this our fellow collectors out west have it even better. CLICK HERE TO GO TO cadman's LINK |
