Had Frigidaire stopped using the little resistor thing that caused defrost cycle failure by the time this fridge was manufactured? This is a major concern for me with Frigidaires from the early '60s, so I'm wondering if/when they stopped using this troublesome component.
Little resistor Thing ??
Hi Ralph, Are you talking about a defrost drain heater ?
A drain heater is technically a resistor of course and almost all early Frost Free refs used drain heaters.
FD was a very reliable FF refrigerator as were other major brands, problem is very few are lasting 50+ years or even much over 30 years.
The only real exception are GE Hot-Gas defrost systems, which also use a drain heater.

John, as I recall this was indirectly related to the heater and required removal of the freezer floor and/or other interior trim pieces. I'll see if I can dig up an old thread about it. There's more than one IIRC.
Hi John, I found the thread, and yes it's the drain heater (seen at front left in the picture). Much more tear-down to get at the thing than I remembered.

Trouble in refrigerator paradise...
As many of you know, we have a 1964 Frigidaire Deluxe bottom-freezer refrigerator in our kitchen. It's been chugging along, keeping our foodthings cool since Robert found it back about 10 years ago. It's a little noisy when it runs, but we don't fault it. It's the perfect fridge for our...

The big problem
With the older frigidaire frost frees, is that the defrost heaters hang up and melt all the freezer plastic, so many were ruined by this.
