I'm trying to make arrangements to drive down on Sunday to pick it up. Hope my wife is as happy as I am with it, since it is a bit undersized, and no water or ice in the door. I think water is overrated . . . If I can, I'll post some interior photos. Steve |

The GE refrigerator on "Beaver" is an earlier model; I think a '60 or '61. . The one for sale has different handles; the handle on the one on the show was along the edge of the ref. door, making for a sleeker look. |

So happy that these posts of sale items work out sometimes. Hope the GE works well and can give you years of service. And yeah….ice and water in the unit are overrated. It takes no time to fill ice trays by hand, we've almost all gotten lazy about that with newer boxes. Lack of water plumbing in the fridge is also a blessing to me…one less thing to go wrong or to rust out the chassis...

The fridge is at a home the absentee owner is remodeling in Pebble Beach. Should be nicely cared for, as it's had only one owner prior to the new owners purchase of the home, he says it is spotless! Again, thanks to Allen! |

I was just hoping you didn't get all the way down to Monterey and meet with disappointment! One thing I would recommend before you hook water supply to the icemaker--if it has been unused for 49 years it'd be a wise thing to have some new gaskets/seals on it before trying it out. Not sure exactly what the inlet looks like, but I'm sure someone up here could guide you through precautionary measures!

Glad you got this neat ref and are giving it a good home.
There is no pump for the IM but rather a solenoid operated inlet valve, the water flows into the ice tray under your homes water pressure.
I would not do anything to the valve at this point, just connect to a cold water line [ you can install an inline water filter if you want better tasting ice ] Do be perpaired to shut down the water if the inlet valve drips or does not shut off at all when you start using this cool feature.
On your NEW KM Top Loading DW, I loved your comment on the build quality being less than great, to me that is the understatement of the year, LOL. Yes I would keep looking for that vintage Kitchenaid DW, or at least a Whirlpool.
The good thing about a portable D&M built DW is you will probably catch any leaking early since you have to move it to use it, and it will be easy to get rid of when it quits. |
