And remember, one of the first home freezers was Aunt Bea's energy sucking heap that mysteriously moved more than an off balance spinning washer and made the lights dim.
It was awful. Gotta call someone. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradfordwhite's LINK

As Hans stated, it originally was a division of Motor Products Corp. of North Chicago, IL. According to their advertising, they also made refrigerators, electric ranges, and water heaters. Amana was already making freezers, and acquired Deepfreeze sometime after 1955. | ||

Yessir, Motor Products Corp. And still running like a Swiss watch. I know Travis has the double barrel version. While a cylinder is tough to stock, you end up with essentially 100% cold-coverage.

Warm Freezer Cabinet Almost all chest and many upright freezers and many smaller refrigerators have the hot condenser tubing in the outside walls of the cabinet.
There are several advantages and disadvantages of building freezers etc this way. This shell condenser works well on freezers that are often in damp areas, by keeping the outside of the cabinet warm it keeps the cabinet from getting condensation then mold and rust on it.
The other advantage is the condenser does not get dirty and lose efficiency.
The disadvantage is the appliance is always operating in a 100F room because the warm cabinet heat soaking back into the interior of the freezer or refrigerator which makes ir work harder.
Hi Jon, but it is completely normal for the outside to get fairly warm, in fact if you put a lot of food in to freeze on a warm day parts of the cabinet may get quite warm to the touch. It is also helpful not to cover the sides with boxes etc to allow good air circulation around the appliance.
