Yup, there are two lines encased in one rubber hose that enter/exit the back of the fridge. I think I'm pretty much done with the cleaning and repairs now so my wife helped me haul the beast up the stairs this afternoon. It's now sitting in the living room. If all goes well tomorrow, we will...

Took some pics of the stuff I used. Is this Plumber's Putty? They seem similar but it says this stuff is specifically for refrigeration and A/C purposes. Maybe it's just Plumber's Putty that is formulated to stay supple when cold? Anyway, I'm testing the fridge out in the garage now so we'll see...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I found an appliance repair place nearby and asked them about this. They said they use a grey putty-type stuff called "sealing gum slug" or something like that. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about...

I'm working on a 70's Moffat fridge that generally works well but whatever used to seal around where the cooling lines enter and exit the rear of the fridge is gone. This acts the same way as a bad door seal, allowing moisture inside unit, and ice builds up and ends up coming out that rear hole...

Turners Timer Repair looks like an excellent resource, thanks Turqoisedude. I will definitely keep them in mind.

Update: I talked with a friend who is experienced working with old radios and asked for his take on this. He said that old clocks on stoves have less to do with stoves and more to do with clocks, so he suggested I find a vintage clock/watch repair place and see if they can help. There are a few...

Thanks fellas. Yes, the motors I have (the spare in the Kenmore appears to be the same model) spin just fine, and are not sealed units so warming the grease and oiling them doesn't seem like it would do any good. I'm not sure how to measure the resistance in the coil but I put the leads from...

Hi 114jwh. Thanks for the info! I'm really enjoying this forum so far, there seems to be a good community of knowledgeable and helpful people here. I've done some searching for this toaster oven trick you mentioned but I can't find anything about it. Can you point me to a thread that covers it...

I dug into it a little bit this morning and have a few more details I can add now. 1) There are what appear to be some part #s on the schematic which make it look like the motor and clock are made by GE. See photo. 2) The overall clock assembly has a sticker saying it was made by Robertshaw of...

I don't see any name on the clock/timer. It looks surprisingly generic. I'm attaching pics now. I have another old stove, a Kenmore of a similar vintage, which I'm harvesting some parts from. It has a similar clock/timer that I might be able to use parts from but its clock doesn't work either...

Hi, I think this is the wrong place to post this but I read that this is the best forum to ask about old stoves so I'll try anyway. Just let me know if there's somewhere else I should post about this in the future. I just acquired an old Moffat stove that looks like it's from the 70's. Like...
