The freezer door gasket probably needs to be replaced. That fixed the frost problem on my '57 GE Combination.
Cold controls on GE's from this period are notorious for failure. I'm pretty sure your fridge's control should have a large horizontal thumbwheel as opposed to that tiny pointer knob. I got a universal fit cold control for mine and it was an easy job to install it, but the supplier I got it from closed a couple of years ago. You'll probably have to keep checking on ebay.
Why do you think the condenser needs to be replaced? |

Is the condenser fan working properly? You should feel a good flow of air blowing out past the grille. A dead or slow fan would cause the compressor to run hot and compromise the condenser both at the same time, resulting in higher cabinet temperatures.
If it's fully charged, you should easily be able to maintain low 30s in the fridge section and zero or lower in the freezer. Was the compressor doing OK before you recharged the system?
There should be a molded piece that finishes off and closes up the cold control opening. If that's missing, a replacement control will fit, but it won't include that piece or the correct thumbwheel/knob as the case may be. If you don't have the original control to copy, you may have to try a few different installation configurations to match up to the mounting points. The control I bought was a universal fit and had lots of extra parts to add, change or remove in order to reproduce the mounting bracket on the original cold control, which I used as a guide. |
