Formally: My General Electric Refrigerator/Bottom Mount Freezer.

 

Part of the haul of vintage appliances from Newport, R.I. . Thanks to Jeannine (spacepig) for posting the ad, John (combo52) for letting me know, and a huge thank you to Scott (searsbest) for helping move and load those heavy appliances.

 

This is a General Electric Model TCF19DBC Serial # LB631067.

The deep cleaning has begun:

Putting it back together.

That looks very nice! It's hard to find antique appliances which are all complete - especially fridges because they have so many easily-removable parts that get lost through the years.

Thanks David!

 

 

And very true. The first thing I noticed that go missing are the drawers, ice trays, then shelves. And the worst I think are the trim pieces. This one has everything but the ice tray.

Just about finished with the refrigerator portion.

A neat control on one of the crisper drawers. Selecting "Meats" opens a flap in the rear of the compartment thus allowing more cold air in.

 



 

Note where they missed a spot while spraying the porcelain finish.

Door panel done.

 



 



 



 

Sadly, the blue metallic finish on two of the shelf bars has flaked off. I saw replacements on ebay but the prices were ridiculous.

Freezer.

 

Notice how banged up the bottom edge of the evaporator panel is from over filling the basket and shoving it closed. G. E. could have designed something to prevent that.

 



 

All clean.

 



 



 

Freezer door inner panel. What quality!

Finally the wire baskets. You can make a new LG out of one of them.

 

I imagine the undulating part of the ice tray shelf is for cans of frozen juice concentrate. I have the ice bin, but no ice trays.

The final push.

Back in service!

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't jealous!

Nice Job!!

Thanks guys. One thing, sure is dark in the refrigerator section. That one bulb is not cutting it. I'm going to switch it out for a far brighter LED bulb. I am surprised GE put only one bulb in such a big refrigerator. My 1964 GE has four bulbs.

Just beautiful!!

As for light bulbs, my '65 only has one and it is difficult to see when there is a lot of food in there. My '55 has 2 bulbs (maybe 3), so I was surprised that they went to less.

Thanks Jeannine. Those bottom 2 shelves are black holes.

Beautiful Louie!!!

Thanks Bob! I wonder if a freezer can have a Bob Load?
