Minneapolis craigslist. Interesting with water feature in the door. Found a 1974 ad with similar model.

Very cool. Back when things were exciting and not so humdrum as today.

Humdrum? What about Whirlpool Corporations Amana Green Tea refrigerator?


The refrigerator simplifies decorating by instantly brightening a room while still remaining functional with a five-bottle wine rack. The Green Tea refrigerator is a calming shade of metallic green with leaf etching. The unique design can add a fresh pop of color to an otherwise neutral kitchen or instantly brighten an entertaining space, such as a sun room, wet bar or entertainment room.

Anyone know when door dispensers first appeared? I remember seeing my first one in person c. 1976 in the home of some VERY wealthy friends of my parents. It was a GE.

The year was 1969 when General Electric introduced the TFF24R side by side with water and ice thru the door.

Explain the "Rich" and "Mild" knobs, please...

These were for the beverages like grape juice  or orange juice help inside the door.

Rich/mild

So, did the fridge use water to dilute and dispense something concentrated? I was expecting it to merely dispense whatever was in compartments, but the rich/mild switch seems to imply that it actively diluted things. No?

RICH-MILD SETTINGS

Yes this knob adjusted the strength of the beverage. You could put consontrated liquid in the containers inside the ref door and adjust the constriction [ it was diluted with chilled water from the water dispenser system ] or you could put full strength beverage in and set the control to rich and no water was added, so I guess that you could put in red wine and White Russians.
