My serial lookup skills are failing me - what model refrigerator am I looking at in this Facebook listing? Our 2001 fridge is failing and my husband is bugging me to find a new fridge...which I take to mean "working," and I'm a sucker for these handles.

I'm also a sucker for listings in my price range that aren't a several-hour drive, but even if this one's not for me, hoping someone here can save these from scrap!

I believe that refrigerator is from 1966.

Ditto.

 

It's not frost-free and it's on the smaller side.  I would guess 15 cf max, and likely less than that.

 

The price is right, but it's been listed for five weeks.  A fridge like this usually moves quickly.  Make sure it functions properly.

I think I spoke too soon.  How about 1967 - for both appliances.

It's a good overflow ref for non perishable items, like soft drinks, where nothing immediately spoils when it fails. I wouldn't rely on it as your one and only source though. As noted above, space will be tight according to modern standards.

Also, that blob of built-up frost at top left of the freezer is indicative of a bad door gasket.   I had the 1957 version of this same fridge, and replacing the door gasket resulted in several months between defrostings instead of every month or two.

 

As Dan said, this fridge is best suited to be a secondary unit as opposed to your daily driver in the kitchen.  Keep an eye out for a late '60s to late '70s Whirlpool or (Sears) Coldspot/Kenmore frost free refrigerator.  Those things run forever.

Thanks, all, this is super helpful feedback! I'll see how much longer our current fridge can make it before I have to pull the trigger on a replacement. If this one's still hanging around in a few more weeks I may grab it for a basement drinks fridge.
