~1979 Kenmore Refridgerator

I am getting rid of a vintage coco brown fridge, needs a good cleaning (inside and out)... I'm offering it to club members first. Email me if interested. Pictures to follow.

What a greqt catch!

...and clean too!

IIRC that condenser design is (was?) patented from a line of commercial refrigeration that was Maytag's as well.

It is said to be self-cleaning and durable compared to a standard coil and fin arrangement!

I believe I have seen it in some Amanas (another one of Maytag's lines) as well.

Wonder if Whirlpool will allow it to live on..........

It works fine, was left in the garauge by previous owner. I wanted to keep it, but just need to reduce stock.

I had one just like that in an apartment, only almond. It was a great fridge overall.

Does anyone know when they switched to using "Kenmore" on refrigeration appliances? I didn't realize it was *that* long ago!
