Bottom freezer refrigerator built by whirlpool, late 70s early 80s design.

These were very good refrigerators. They weren’t very popular yet because bottom freezers hadn’t caught on again.

I had one of these in coffee years ago in the barn until the humidity rusted the freezer door enough that it just fell off.

I had one of these in almond around 1996 I got when I was removing trade ins for a dealer. It worked fine and ended up selling it for $250.

And it fit perfectly in the space made for previous fridge

without an inch to spare. The previous fridge was an early Fifties "Lucy Ricardo" model (same vintage as the kitchen {it even had the pass-thru}). This was the refrigerator in my Parents' last house. They loved it; it lasted for more than 18 years without a hitch.

 

It was likely thrown away by the NYC Princess who bought the house at the bitter end, to be replaced by a Sub-Zero that went with the Viking, that went with the Asko built-in.

Whirlpool built, bottom freezer refrigerator

Hi Kenny, I never saw one with the Frigidaire name on it but I’m not surprised starting in the mid to late 70s whirlpool built side-by-side‘s for Frigidaire with the ice and water through the door, it was probably the best refrigerator Frigidaire sold in the 70s.

Thanks guys!

Knew this lot would have proper ID and information. Going by bidding seems many out there knew what fridge was and are responding accordingly.


Though if one were after said fridge that big can of roach spray would put one off. *LOL*

Thing wouldn't get past front door until was sure it wasn't infested.

Whirlpool, built Frigidaire bottom freezer refrigerator

That’s cool Kenny never saw one of those, even has a porcelain on steel interior something Frigidaire had abandoned 10 years earlier.

It has those 70s Frigidaire full-height curved handles with the wood grain accent.

Mine looked like this frig but with the Kenmore handles shown on the model for sale.

I think they made two sizes of these probably 18 and 21 c.f. The one currently for sale looks like the larger cap.

The other thing I remember about the one I had is the wheels worked really well. It didn't take much to move the frig. I can't remember if there was an ice maker in mine. I know it was hinged on the right. I had thought about keeping it it was so nice.
