Hot Compressor I have kept the portable fan directed at the compressor the entire time, but the compressor still got very hot. I still have the fan directed at it and hope it cools down. The repairman did not check it with an ohm meter. The repairman did say that if it was not the compressor...

Manual Self Service Checklist I forgot I bought an owner's manual on eBay after I bought the fridge. I will have to search for a repair manual. 

Still needs repair I just went out to check on it again and the compressor was very hot and the fan was slowing down again, so I unplugged it. I will wait to hear from the repairman and see what he has to say. I will be sure to show him the video and see if that helps him figure the problem...

Compressor Hey Paul,    I have good news! I unplugged the fridge and turned on a fan to cool down the compressor and even put an icepack on it. I came back an hour later and plugged it in and the compressor and the fan on the fridge started back up and it is slowly getting cold again! I...

Dead Compressor :( The repairman came out and says the compressor is dead. He does not know of anywhere to get the part. I am super sad. After spending a month cleaning it, I was really excited to get it in my kitchen this weekend. Anyway, thanks to everyone who responded to my thread. I...

Fan Here is a picture of the fan I am referring to. It is at the very bottom, so it might be for the freezer. I am not sure if it is the fan or not. It spins if I turn it manually. I do hear a clicking sound when it tries to start, but then nothing happens. [this post was last edited...

I just purchased a 1962 GE Frost Guard refrigerator about a month ago. It was working perfectly until we recently were hit with very high temperatures here in Denver. Now, the fan in the back does not work. I hear it try to switch on, but the fan does not start. Does anyone know of an appliance...

Stinky Refrigerator I will try the activated charcoal and see if that helps. I have some that I use for making terrariums. If it can keep those from being stinky it definitely should help with the refrigerator. I never thought of vanilla extract! What a easy, simple way to freshen up the...

Thanks! Thanks Ben! I think it is a beauty and will last a long time. Now I just need to find a repair person in case it ever needs repair.

Stinky Refrigerator Any tips on removing the horrible stank from the refrigerator? So far, I have cleaned the inside with bleach and water, but the funk keeps coming back even though it looks clean. It is seriously demoralizing going out to my garage every day to continue cleaning to find that...

Frost Guard I appreciate the responses to my question. I will just clean it the best I can with soap and water. I have been searching for a 1960s era refrigerator for a long time and am super excited to get this baby in my kitchen. I just need to get the smell and the gunk out of it and it will...

I just purchased a 1962 GE Frost Guard refrigerator and have been cleaning it out. I have been trying to get the aluminum shelf guards that attach to the inside of the door clean, but they have this weird white film on them. I have tried cleaning with alcohol, lemon juice and vinegar, which has...

Hi, I am new here and am hoping someone can answer a few questions for me regarding installing a vintage cooktop and wall oven. I am thinking of purchasing a vintage GE JC25 wall oven and a GE cooktop for my 1960s kitchen renovation, but I currently do not have a cabinet to place them in. I have...
