Hi, I'm looking to find anyone, just as lucky as me, that own a cp or pcp 143-56 or it's sister the cp 120-56. There has to be some of them out there as I have found in searching that they are quite rare. Any help would be wonderful! |

Looking at these photos reminds me of having to clean those old Frigidaires for resale. A ton on them came in and almost all of them worked just fine. Some of them were absolutely filthy. Those aluminum shelves would get full of gook underneath and were a "B" to clean. The slides on the walls were awful too, and if they had that door hydrator and it was filthy too it was the worst. I remember a couple of them that were so dirty and stinky I helped them make the scrap guy's truck by punching a hole in the freezer evaporator. I was a mean little kid, or in today's lingo, "me bad."

Karen,
Do you know if your fridge was already repaired/restored in the past? I'm assuming it still has it's original sealed refrigerating system but it's good to know something about it before you have any service done to it. If your rotary compressor is dead, it could be converted to a different compressor but that requires some time and modifications. I think you'd need to have a tech check it first to know exactly what caused the failure and to see if it stil holds it's charge of refrigerant. In any case, be prepared to face costly repairs. Be sure to find someone who knows what he's dealing with... Repairing old appliances can be a bit like sending your pet to the veterinarian. A $15 cat can cost $1500 in surgery if you're willing to spend that money on it and you know it's not going to survive forever after... |

We're renting a trailer and picking it up this weekend. We'll have to go from there. I should start looking for parts... Any good resources? |

I can only hope to find one soon. BTW, has anyone watched this seldom seen promo video about the 1956 Frigidaire Cold Pantry (I say it because as of this posting, there's only 87 views). Who knew the fronts were interchangeable and available in different colors? Just like m'lady's makeup.... Melissa's has a blue plate. Damn....
