Frigidaire Refrigerator help needed!!

[norgeway]

Ron Jones brought me a new play toy this weekend, A 1962 Turquoise Frigidaire Fridge...

 

[norgeway]

Like new inside too!

BUT, needs a new thermostat..

 

[norgeway]

Model Number

Here tis...

 

[norgeway]

This is a

Plain single door fridge, but it really does look like new, inside and out, and it has all its parts, Do any of you Frigidaire guys have a thermostat for it, If you do, just let me know how much it is! I want to get this old girl running!

 

[philr]

Can you see the part number on the thermostat? 6599216?  I'll look at what I have...

 

[norgeway]

stamped on the back...

2/19 then opposite that 5901141

 

[philr]

Hans, I looked for both your part number and the one that replaces it and I don't have a cold control like that.

 My books say your model should use 6599216  F3B  Cut out +2,  Cut in +18

 

If that helps...

 

[classiccaprice]

Could you use a supco 'temporary' cold control? That's what put on my Philco and it works like a champ.

 

[philr]

I found that...

Thanks Guys!

I ordered the one on EBay a few minutes ago.

 

[philr]

Great I hope it will fix it! What happens with it? It runs constantly and gets too cold?

 

[norgeway]

No, It would not turn on at all

I jumped the wires and it runs like a champ...Quiet too.

 

[paulg]

Me too

I also used a Supco in my 1954 Crosley. Still works. Good fix.

That fridge is lovely! Congrats! Welcome to the turquoise Frigidaire fridge club.

It's good to be expressive

Hans, whatever you do, leave some real estate for the turquoise to show through.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Sorry, I have a magnet problem. :-(

Rule is only one on the front...

 

[Unimatic1140]

Rule is only one on the front...

And guess who's rule that is lol ;-)

 

[joelippard]

Haha!  I have the same rule but I will not allow any on the front or the side that faces the dinning room.

 

[philr]

My 1963 Frigidaire when I got it. There was not much space on the sides to put anything in the enclosure where it spend the first 46 years of it's existence!

 



 

 

Now there's only one old calendar on the side! I kept it for years just to have the phone number of one of the few remaining GM Frigidaire service centers around but the place closed two years ago and I bought their few remaining parts...

Reply #17 / 18 re: those magnets

Fred, I like those magnets, ours are mostly on the side. I think we should have a thread(don't scream) that shows what everyone refrigerators look like on the outside with their magnets (if any).

I can't seem to enforce that one only on the front rule of Robert's.
