If anyone is parting out a late 50's-60's Frigidaire Imperial refrigerator, I am looking for the foot pedal that opens the bottom freezer door. I have the mechanical pieces that open the door but the pedal that you step on is missing. If you have this item and are willing to sell it (and ship...

Update: This may not be the right machine for me :-( I heard back from the seller and it seems the $75 asking price is for a double oven wall unit and this dishwasher. He says he doesn't have the bottom kick plate and the unit stored away at the moment and he can't get pictures of the inside...

Hi forum, I posted previously about a portable KA Imperial portable being converted to built in but then I found this KA Superba. From the reading I have done here, the Superba seems to be the TOL for the day and this one is in the stainless finish. It appears to need some cleaning up and...

Hi everyone, I am trying to finish restoring my kitchen to its original glory with vintage appliances and need to find the dishwasher. Can anyone tell if this vintage KitchenAid unit can be converted from a roll around to a built-in under counter unit? I do not have room for a stand alone unit...

Solved the freezer door seal issue !! It just took loosening the pairs of screws on the top and bottom hinge, pulling the door out from the unit a little and tightening them all back down - now she seals like the top - perfectly!!!

Never mind.... I adjusted the two screws on both the top and bottom hinge of the freezer door and was able to shift it out and tightened them back down. The adjustment was enough that the door seals perfectly now and you can hear the magnets click against the metal creating the seal. Man...I...

Hi gang, I just picked up my 1961 Frigidaire Imperial Frost Proof (you might have seen in my other post asking about the differences between the Imperial and the Deluxe) and realized that for some reason the bottom freezer door does not want to stay sealed shut via the magnetic seals. There is...

Thanks PhilR Thank you PhilR ! I'm really excited to have her home finally. This model is fabulous and I love all of the luxuries it offered for it's time. Can you tell me this - the seals on the doors have the magnets to help them stay closed and the freezer door doesn't want to stay...

She's mine now!!! Ok, this 1961 Imperial is now mine and we are bringing her home as I post this. She looks like it's never been used!! The pics from the CL posting didn't do her justice at all. Two things missing are the actual foot pedal itself (the mechanical parts are still in tact) and...

What is a hydrator? Hey turquoisedude, you said the hydrator looked to be in good condition but I have no idea what section or part of the fridge that is referring to so that I understand. I haven't found any other information on this model yet, except what PhilR has been so kind to educate me...

Thanks Phil. I have talked to the owner and he is going to plug it in and get me the measurements - but I'm excited by the news you have already provided about the model. He said it's in almost perfect condition inside and out and just needs to get it out of storage. He's only asking $100 and...

Another one has shown up on CL... So another Frigidaire has shown up on Craigslist and it's much closer to my home. I don't have any information on this one yet because I'm waiting for a return call. The inside doesn't look like anything I've seen posted here yet (or at least that my searches...

Well..... I received the dimensions for the GE and it seems it is no different than the almost perfect condition Frigidaire. Since I'm not spending a ton of money for either one, I'll just decide on one and then later, if a taller model comes along I'll consider getting it. Thanks for all...

May be going with a similar year GE model now... Thanks to all of you who have given me input on this decision. It seems that the 69" model is rare to come by - not to mention I'm getting impatient to bring this project to a close - so I have found a complete vintage kitchen that is being...

Thanks for all the considerations, Phil. I really like the look of your Imperial model in your kitchen. I don't think my 1960 kitchen was ever remodeled but the opening for the fridge allows for a 32" wide and a 70" tall fridge (the bottom of the upper cabinets come in at 72" so there is...

This fridge is SHORT!! I just received the measurements on the fridge I want and I didn't realize how short it was at 5'4". Are most of the refrigerators from this era that short? Maybe since I was a child of the 1970s I had a different perspective while looking up at these things and perhaps...

Thanks! Thanks PhilR ! This is great information. So it doesn't look like I'm missing out on a lot of "must have" luxuries between the two models. Can you give me a quick summary of any issues I should look out for specifically on this model when I go to see it in person?

Thank you all so much for the information as this is new territory for me. I am dying to put vintage appliances back in my unremodeled kitchen. I am attaching a picture of the fridge I am considering and a close up of the badge as it doesn't look like most I have seen in the photos. I have...

Hi forum family, I am new to the forum and still trying to navigate the site. I am looking at purchasing a 1960's Frigidaire refrigerator to go with my 1962 Frigidaire Flair oven and would like to know the difference between the Imperial and Deluxe versions of the Frost Proof fridge. The Flair...
