Based on the trim, I'm thinking it's a '62 or '63 model. |

Have you seen the interior of this fridge yet? If the freezer is lined with textured aluminum and has a capped drain in the bottom, it's a manual defrost. As long as the freezer door gasket makes a good seal, you should only have to defrost twice a year at most.
My '57 GE of this same configuration is a cinch to defrost. I use a vintage defrosting heater to speed the process (see picture), and I'm usually done in an hour or less. Only about ten or 15 minutes of that is hands-on. Melted frost runs down the drain to an evaporating pan underneath the fridge. Just wipe the interior dry and re-stock. |
