Hi Jessie 
It's a beautiful machine
Try contacting David here in the forum. He is Turbokinectic and has a thread # 769050 running now...titled "antique hunting expedition " You can contact him there or click to see if his email is listed. He'l know what's probably wrong.. Float valve ect. I have heard that sometime you can shut fridge off, put hot pans/trays of water in and around the evaporator to warm heat up evaporator, then turn on. This sometimes dislodges a oil plug. But I wouldn't try that til you check with him. He's also a member..as Travis is..on the Monitor top forum. You can find them both there as well. Both have a weath of info. HTH Keep me posted, as I'll be interested to know the outcome | ||

Oh, The Irony It's a real shame when a beautiful, well maintained refrigerator conks out, yet an old mistreated beater that's missing a bunch of parts keeps running in spite of itself.
I've also heard of the hot trays of water trick that Stan mentioned. How effective it really is, I don't know.
Stan has referred you to a true expert for guidance. David is the only person I know of who successfully revived a +/- 1930 Frigidaire's mechanical system and got it running good as new. Those machines, while beautiful, are widely considered lost causes. He's a real miracle worker.
I have a feeling that since your fridge is a close relative to the monitor top, the problem may lie with another component besides the compressor. GE's from this period are tough to kill. There are 1928 monitor tops out there that are still purring along after 90 years. I don't even think GE's engineers expected them to last that long. | ||
