1962 Frigidaire Imperial Fridge Problems... help!

[frogkid11]

If anyone parts with one of these, can you let me know...

Hey gang, I see where several have given up on these Frigidaire bottom freezer models and scrapped them. I own a 1961 and it works perfectly and is only missing the foot pedal to open the freezer door - so if you plan to give up on one with the pedal, can you let me know as I would like to buy the pedal. Thanks so much!

Martin - here is the original ice ejector and trays

Hey Martin, you had asked about the original ice trays that were meant for your fridge. The system actually included a removable ice ejector that allowed you to invert the ice trays on the top and pull the lever which would crack the ice trays causing the ice cubes to fall into he holder. Here is a link for one in the original box on eBay:

Cool

That's cool!!!!! I'll see about getting that ice tray.thanks for the link!

I really hope I can fix this fridge. At least it doesn't frost up. It just makes everything else way too cold lol. Could just keep it as a fridge for drinks if all else fails I guess.

I assume it's just freezing things in the bottom half of the refrigerator, if it's freezing things in the top of it the fan thermostat for the refrigerator section maybe bad.

You can always just use the bottom of the refrigerator to keep. It likes to be extra cold

My aunt's new Frigidaire of similar vintage had that "instant ice" system.  I was very jealous of that, and her entire fridge, as our fridge was a drab '49 Westinghouse single door that would be with us as a daily driver for about ten more years before it finally became a garage fridge.

 

$80 seems a little steep, even for NIB, but I'd still be tempted.

It's kind of just freezing stuff like produce (no matter where it is in the fridge), anything in the lower drawers, and antrying in the many tender drawer gets kind of frozen a bit...I'll end up taking stuff apart and see what I can fix, If possible.

As for the nib ice tray...that is kind of expensive for 80 bucks. I have everything except the aluminum ice tray. But it is still tempting.
