Very nice and clean! I love the Chrome! Do you know how much they were asking for it? | ||

Exact model
of mom's 1966 16.0 cu. ft. GE. Hers was left-hand swing, but otherwise the same. Sold it with the house in 1993, never a repair. Bottom grille is missing, I remember it was a PITA to remove and replace to clean the drip pan underneath. I can't remember if it had coils on the back or not. If you have occasion to catch the movie "That Thing You Do!" (Liv Tyler, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Jonathan Schach, others), this model makes an appearance in the opening scene!

Missing bottom grille
Somehow I had completely forgotten that frost-free refrigerators had grilles and drip trays! When I was a kid, I used to take off the grille and check to see if the pan was full all the time. Not even sure why--there was never more than a trace of water in the pan. I guess it just evaporated from the heat?
That GE for sale is in gorgeous shape. Curious styling: the freezer door being framed in chrome, but not the main compartment door. | ||

Neat GE Frost Guard Frost Free Refrigerator
This model could be a 1964 ref at least several GE refs used these handles and trim on the top of the freezer door in 1964. All GE refs 30&1/2" wide like this model had forced air cooled condensers and used a grill at the bottom whether they were FF or manual defrost freezers.
These were good refs in their day but if it has been in continues use the Styrofoam around the evaporator coil under the freezer floor is probably a deteriorated mess, and this is very difficult to repair. When this insulation deteriorates the evaporator usually does not defrost properly and you can have a host of other performance problems with the refrigerator, as a result FF refs of this age are not good candidates for daily use as your main ref. Hi Ralph, if you had a M Wards ref from 1965 it was not built by Frigidaire, [ Frigidaire did not build refs for MM till about 1970 ] but more likely Westinghouse. The WH built refs that had a static condenser had an electric heater under the black plastic drain pan, these heaters often failed and then you had a pan full of water, LOL. John L. | ||
