Hi all ! Just wanted to post an update. It turned out to be what I think was a combination of a slight clog in the evaporator and also being a little low on refrigerant as well . I had to learn all about different refrigerant types as well as how to properly use equipment for servicing...

Hi all Ok so the fridge sat for 24 hours. I turned it on and still basically have the same issue. After about 2 hours the temp did drop to around 38 degrees. but the evaporator coil‘s are only partially freezing adding the ice trays actually makes it start to defrost . The coils on the back...

Ultramatic. I love to hear story’s like that. I really wish I knew the whole history on this one. The couple I bought it from picked it up at an auction 4 years ago and used it occasionally for extra storage. I’m sure it has a better back story than that . hopefully I can get it to run...

Additional thought ... I forgot to mention that the previous owner said the fridge had not been turned on in over a year. Idk if that makes any difference or not. Just a little extra information

Thanks for the info. And oh crap ! I didn’t know that it was 24 hrs. I had been told in the past that 2 hours was good enough. Ugh ! So if it’s clogged is there any way to get the valves unglogged ? I was reading a little while ago about how it could be a partially clogged...

Hi all. And thanks for the friendly comments. I’ve run into my first problem with my new addition ( foolish me for thinking I wouldn’t have to put any work into this one haha ). The evaporator coil‘s in the freezer only partially get cold . The top shelf for the ice trays gets icy cold...

Just wanted to share this for the fun of it :-). I picked up a vintage GE refrigerator today for 100 bucks. It’s model ND-8-DC. I’m thinking 1940’s ? It’s in great shape for its age. I’m hoping to use this as my main refrigerator. It even came with the original instruction manual !

Hi all Aero-tech doesn't seem to have any A15 appliances bulbs on there site. Unless I'm just not seeing them? I don't think I can get away putting a standard size bulb in my oven. It's a tight spot. Thanks for the links and suggestions though

Hi dermacie I totally agree. My previous stove was a late 1980 early 90s white Westinghouse. I never changed the bulb once in 10 years of use. It's like that saying ...... they just don't make things like they use to..

Hi combo Yes both glass covers are still in place in both oven

Correct bulb type Hi rolls Yes the bulbs are rated for oven use.

Hi all I was wondering if anyone would have any thoughts on a good long lasting oven light bulb ? I've been buying GE and Phillips light bulbs for my frigidaire flair. I'd say... roughly .. every 3 months my ovens seem to need new bubs . I've check the wiring and the voltage. And every...

Clock WOW very nice ! I was able to get the clock on my Frigidaire Flair repaired at http://www.generaltimerepairs.com/index.php they may be able to help you. Catch is you have to remove the clock and send it to them.. They Fixed both mine and mothers Flair Clocks. hope this helps AJ

Hi leefree I was raised around the 30 inch single oven version of the flair I have now. I know all to well how great they can be. Took me years to find one of my own ... I do have the kantslide griddle. I use it at least once a week. I have the nonstick teflon coated version and love it ...

This is only something I've attempted on a small break in a heating element... I would never attempt it on large break as it would change the resistance of the element to much making it run hotter and draw more current which could cause all sorts of issues... I say this As a friendly caution to...
