One of the few Frigidaire designs of the period which I actually like. Phoenix CL--They want $100 for it. But I recently saw the same thing in Goodwill for $39, so....

Textured is evil, in my opinion. It's ridiculously difficult to keep clean. Our old Whirlpool fridge that died last year was textured almond and it always looked gross. This post was last edited 07/30/2014 at 17:40 |

The JennAir I have in the kitchen is Textured gloss black. Bonus tho' is the doors are aluminum framed and hold black acrylic panels. Those panels are always immaculate and clean in spite of dusty Phoenix conditions. The sides are not covered...and the texture holds on to every piece of lint, dust, hand smudge, spill etc. And it really shows on black. Texture was supposedly started up so that those issues didn't exist! Jason, I remember that textured almond. We had the same on a whirlpool back in about 1983. BLAH.

These things are cropping up here in town. Haven't seen any in years...this month, they all show up!
I'm a sucker for non textured framed doors with full length vertical pulls :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO funktionalart's LINK on Phoenix Craigslist |

These look like WCI products so they are from 1980 or later. From the outside, the last GM refrigerators are a bit hard to tell from the early WCI products. Even the last GM refrigerators from 1978-79 had emblems that were about the same size as the later ones from WCI.
I got one from 1977 last spring. It was advertised on Craigslist at $25. Works great. The defrost timer is noisy but I got one for something like $12 on eBay. I haven't replaced it yet. Unlike my older refrigerators, this one doesn't run the defrost timer all the time. It just runs when the compressor is working. |
