Hello I'm restoring a 1966 GE Frost Guard Refrigerator. I have replaced the compressor, but need to find a replacement for the Hot Gas Solenoid coil/valve. I could not find a part number. Any one know what would work, and where to find one? Thanks

Hot gas valve...

Our member cobo52 has found a replacement. He's shared it on a few threads here.

I'm new here. How do I search for for cobo52 threads?

The member is combo52.

 

I don't know if you can access the "Super Searchalator" option without an upgraded membership, but that would provide the option to search both the term and limit the search to a specific member's posts.  Otherwise, at top right on the index page is a search field.  Type in "hot gas" or whatever and then you'll have to sift through the various threads that display.

Top mount or bottom mount? John (combo52) is the man to contact. Good luck.

Ugh, I can't type!

I'm sorry I misspelled combo52's screen name. Feel really dumb. 

 

John provided me with the details on that valve when I was working on one of those fridges locally last year. I was unable to locate that exact valve, and used another alternative, which I also can't locate the details of. The one John recommends is better because it requires no modifications. The one I used required some modifications.

Sadly now I can't locate our correspondence with the part number. The threads I found don't seem to have the info. It may have been a phone text which I don't have access to any longer.

Again apologies for the misspelling.

It's a bottom mount. Thank you for the suggestions.

Based on the trim, I think Tim's refrigerator is a '64 or '65 model, rather than a '66. The handle design on Louie's machine was used for the '66 & '67 models. In '68, the handles were changed to the woodgrain type, which were used for several years.

Tom, you are right. I was thinking about the '64 that I also have.

Thanks circle. I was just going by a rubber stamp I found on the back 66. Probably referred to something else. Still trying to figure out a fix for the hot gas solenoid.
