GEORGEOUS Frigidaire

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

I'm wondering what kind of price the owner has in mind...

The last range I got is a similar model from 1962. This one has the Heat Minder (that works!) but no Speed Heat and it was priced reasonably at $80. It has all the original switches and the cookmaster still works. When I got it, it was missing the wire spring that holds the glass cover for the oven lamp in the Pull-n-Clean liner but I got a replacement for newer Frigidaire ranges. These are still available for about $2 and they do the job just fine.


Still needs some cleaning but it's in nice shape for being used regularly until I got it. Custom Imperial models have "surface" warning lights that the DeLuxe lacks (I think this is an important safety feature). The "broiler grill" feature was missing on the all the 1961 30" ranges but it was back after a one year absence in the 1962 Custom Imperial.


Post-1960 30" models usually have one "surface" light but this one has two because Canadian standards of the time required to have independent fused circuits for each pair of burners (and for the oven and power outlet too).


The oven liner also has the darker porcelain beacause it's a Canadian model.


One thing that was gone in 1962 is the aluminum trim on the storage drawer, they got a plain white (but still porcelain-coated) drawer instead. The French-doors were also gone that year on the CI model.
