The '61 Whirlpool looks so much more at home in that spot than the Frigidaire did.  Great job on the GE!

I don't know - I could fill a room with all the failed "little ECM motors that consume 5 watts and run completely cool" that I have changed in the last 10 + years. The evap motor in my 2005 Maytag bottom freezer made it a whole 10 months before it stopped. Lost a lot of food so I'm happy to pay for the extra electricity that the new(old style) motor has used for the past 6 years trouble free.
 
Before I forget

I managed to locate not one but two potential replacements for the 56 GE wall refrigerator - one of them is still avaialable in Minnesota - if anyone is interested, please contact me and I will let the seller know. This one is white, and I believe it is a 1957 model.

AND... there is ia turquoise 1957 model sitting in my own garage (with a seething hubby urging me to find a new home for it - I cleaned up his direct quote considerably!) For this one, please contact me and I'll send you the directions to Ogden... LOL
 
Yee-Haw!

Congrats, Paul! Ain't it grand when a repair works? I'm always pleased as punch (and a litle surprised)!

Time for a GE breakfast?
 
Repair-man

I too have replaced at least 100 of the ECM motors in the field over the past ten years, and probably 1000 of the older style motors over the past 30 years. it is really hard to know the actual durability of either type motor and I have often said the worst person to ask is an appliance repairman about durability. All I know is I have two frost free freezers and two frost all refrigerators in my kitchen and that equals 8 ECM motors humming away now for several years and have had no failures. Over the past 10 years I have cut my electricity use in 1/2 by doing this and many other things around the house without giving up one bit of comfort or convince. As a result I am saving around $1000 per year, so if one of these years I actually have one fail in my home I think I can afford to replace it.

 

After all it is not up to the government to make this country energy independent, I believe in doing things for yourself and the country and the world.
 
I would love to have one of these refirgerators! But I think they are about 3 inches wider than the space I have. I'm trying to keep my kitchen in the spirit of the 19th century, and I really want to put the refrigerator in the large pantry, but I will only have 60-61" of space, and I thought these were 63"
