Thank you for the reminder, Han. It's a good rule of thumb. Otherwise, would a smaller frost free refrigerator generally be less energy-sucking than a larger capacity? I've seen some comments that the electric bill can be enormous with the vintage frost frees. I can't help but wonder, too ...doesn't it also block out some attractive looking and functionally interesting refrigerators? (talking to the air..cost$$$$)

AHHHHHH! Get the Garlic and the Crucifix!
That Whirlpool is the exact same one I had during the 80s in my St. Charles kitchen, except mine was White.
Just out of warranty, it broke down and needed a new compressor. It got it. Three short years later, it did the same thing. That time it got scrapped and turned into a new Hyundai or something. Between that and some other bad (not to mention costly) experiences, I decided No. More. Whirlpool. EVVVERRRRRR! Thank you, Mommie Dearest.... | ||

Yep, that's a sweet price, but no views - you only hope the rest is as nice as the front view. The ones that you could potentially buy were far away, and costlier. Something will drift nearer your way, Ralph.

Hey, that's our basement fridge! The Frigidaire pictured in reply #32 is exactly like our basement fridge. We bought it in 1998 with the express purpose of being a 2nd fridge. We bought it at an estate sale for $30. Ours was bought new approx. 1972. It is a non self-defrost model, and is also a Cycla-Matic. A very quiet unit. Ours has one large turquoise metal crisper drawer across the bottom.
The seller needs to do some homework. Just because it's older doesn't necessarily mean it's from the "early 1960's". lol | ||

The Amana 22's:
Those are both really nice fridges! Really beautiful. I had seen the one in Des Moines, but not the Chicago one.
If running cost were no object, I might be interested, but these are '70s fridges, not terribly efficient by today's standards. John combo52 figures that one would cost about $40 a month to run nowadays. Since I'm single, I feel that I really need to set my sights on a smaller box. The Amana 13 would be ideal for my actual needs, though the 16 would also be okay. Both of those are top-mount models. I hugely appreciate the leads on these 22s. | ||

DAve /Sandy - #52 got my vote. But at ~$40/month (depending on what electrical charges by state), that's just under what we're charged for water. Must be the insulation and a hungry compressor. Can one retro-fit a more efficient compressor? I'm talking about removing a 427 V-8 and dropping in a smaller more efficient engine only refrigerator-talk. That would be a labor of love execution of hell, maybe? lol.

New COMP--Look: NO FREON!!!! (Or CFC's) I once saw on TV, some documentary on a refrigerator compressor that is actually a BALL that refrigerates using magnetic properties...
The narrator for this documentary is even in a junkyard behind a GE fridge w/ an external condenser saying this device eliminates the need for it, as well as the evaporator (and tosses away each part including the native freon-utilizing--and CFC-emitting--"old school" compressor)...
The doc' ends w/ the military actually wanting this particular compressor design & likely to be the first clients for it, just due to it potentially withstanding its obviously heavy-duty use...!
