    1956 GE Spacemaker Stove (yellow)

    Oh, that's awesome. I will plan a trip sometimes soon. I'll let you know beforehand so I stop by when you are not on a service call. Thanks to coldspot66 also.

    1956 GE Spacemaker Stove (yellow)

    Thanks for your response. I have already spent days cleaning this stove and it is looking pretty good now. The oven was bad, but now it looks great. The grease under the trim rings is still soft and will be easy to clean. Is there a trick to removing the push nuts on the chrome trim without...

    1956 GE Spacemaker Stove (yellow)

    Hi, I recently purchased a pastel yellow 1956 GE Spacemaker Stove. All of the burners are different and I am trying to figure out which components are original, and I would also like to determine which parts I should replace and where to get the parts. Left Rear: I think this one is all...

    tons of teal stoves, and 2 copper Chambers

    Not sure if this is helpful to anyone or not since I don't have links. I made a list of cool looking stuff while using the wife's work facebook account. I wasn't sure how to email a link from her phone to my email address, so I don't have links, but if you are looking for something specific...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    Does anyone know who runs the other website that sells the manuals? I filled out the online form to ask a question and I never heard back. Does anyone know if the online manual for this fridge covers removing the inner liner and also if it details the refrigeration circuit in my specific...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    The fact that it seems to have been serviced is probably my biggest concern. I wonder why was it serviced. Probably for the same failure mode I am experiencing now, no cooling in fridge. So why did they pull that pull that module (black arrow in reply #18) out from its cubby on the back wall...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    Thank you so much. eBay has a few (Robinair B30 14476) available for $8 to $20. If it passes the leak down test, I can then begin a search for an R12 compressor. If I mechanically installed a new compressor, will a traditional HVAC mechanic be able/willing to solder the pipes to the...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    Do you think there is probably at least a small leak based on my symptoms, or is there a possibility the symptoms could all be from a low performing compressor? I believe in another thread you mentioned upgrading to a modern R12 compressor solely for the energy savings. Maybe I should just...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    In 30 minutes of observation, the compressor ran continuously. The fridge temp was 50.3F and I unplugged the refrigerator. When I was talking about the charging port, I was thinking the cylindrical piece of metal shown in the attached photos was the charging port. Is there a fitting that...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    This is great news that it could possibly be a little bit low on refrigerant. Can you tell me the name of the special fitting required to add R12? I have been searching around and keep running into info about 134 conversions. It is also great to know that it takes a little while before the...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    There is no temper control for the freezer that I see. It does have a metal rod that was sitting loose in the freezer area. I have read some threads that indicate the freezer control can be adjusted be a rod of some sort. If that is the case for mine and the rod was removed, I cannot see...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    The freezer gets to just below 0-deg F. The compressor run as I would expect, and it shuts off when the freezer gets cold. I did not think the Refrigerator temperature switch had a thermostat, I thought it controlled the amount of R12 that is allowed to flow through the secondary refrigeration...

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    Hi, We have a 1959 GE Refrigerator that is not getting cool in the refrigerator compartment. The freezer works fine, but the fridge does not get below 60F in a 68F basement. Background: The fridge was placed on its side for 30 minutes during transport, and the fridge was left upright for 2...
