Unfortunately, someone bought it before I got to it. :( Anne

John, I am so happy! Maybe that will buy me a little time until I can take it to Alabama. Thank you so very much! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours 🙂

Hi John, Were you able to find a part # for me? If not should I purchase the reference above? Please help Anne

Hi John, I am moving the Kitchenaid Dishwasher to the new house today. Did you have any luck finding a dispenser or know of a good place to look? Anne

Could I use this for parts reference? https://www.automatice.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?showdoc~1288~~ Anne

Hi John, David is booked up for the next few months and I will have to arrange a bit of a vacation to get it to Alabama, so I need to figure the defrost timer out now. I am low on funds, paying for two homes while we are finishing a giant move. If anything happened right now it would be a...

Hi Dave, Thank you :) Anne

Hi Dave, Thank you :) Anne

Hi John, I marked the dial. It doesn’t move at all. It did seem to get a little warm when I turned it manually before, but there wasn’t any water in the pan at all. I have put the fridge back on a timer running 30 on/15 off and I am able to maintain temp. I just couldn’t take it running all...

Hi John, Could you give me contact info for David from Alabama? I think I should follow your advice and have the system tested/serviced. And I guess I will pull the defrost timer and try to get #s off it. Any idea where I could find a parts list for 1959? Anne

Hi John, Well, I do not have much help right now because my husband and I have been in two different places, but once we are in the same house it will be easier. He was a mechanic for many years (now in auto production) and they seem kind of similar to old cars. If we could obtain the right...

Well, I guess it must be doing something, because the compressor does turn off after 10 mins.

I turned the defrost knob until the compressor turned off. It turns off for exactly 10 mins. I did this manually, the timer dial doesn’t appear to be moving on its own at all. The fridge and freezer are both maintaining temperature. I am thankful for that 🙂

I have turned this fridge off at the breaker when checking it. (It is awfully hard to keep moving it to unplug) Is that damaging to do that? And I read power outages can damage it? We live in a small town with it’s own power co. The power goes out kind of often. Should it be on some sort of...

@ cspetros I did check the internal temps a few days ago. The fridge was 38 and the freezer was 0. I put extra ice cube trays in the freezer and everything has stayed frozen. I put a bottle of water and several ice packs in the freezer. I also put lots of drinks in the fridge. The fan behind...

John, I panicked at first because I thought it would eventually lock up. My tiny 4’11 neighbor and her 15 year old daughter helped me get this beast in here. I have been at our new house alone for the past few weeks. Just my 10 year old daughter and I. My husband and son are wrapping things up...

@sudsomatic Good one! @circlew Mine is “Frost Proof”. I have this annoying life habit where I always seem to end up with the more problematic or 1st/2nd year issue before the kinks are worked out. This happens to me with cars and electronics too! 😂 I just had a fire in my 1969 Sansui Amplifier...

John, I think the solar panels might be a good idea! I guess I got spoiled by my old GE! At the house we are moving from we have a Frigidaire we bought less than two years ago. It also runs a lot and the switch on the ice/water already broke off. We aren’t rough with things at all. The eco...

Hi John, It is the Frost Proof model. FP-124-59. I did hear a fan kick on. I was wondering if maybe the defrost timer is not functioning since the compressor is supposed to shut off 2 x a day when the heater comes on? (unless I just happen to have missed it) I purchased the tech talk and it...

John, I have a 1949 GE Spacemaker also. Much smaller, but we pinched off the cord when moving to our previous house and it has been in my shed waiting for attention. I was going to concentrate on it, but then the opportunity to get the Frigidaire came up and I jumped on it. I do not know how...
