This should probably be in the Super forum...
That said, looks like a '52 set... That is pretty sweet with the freezer. Mine is a '51 in the other forum. If your interested their is a manual on ebay right now.

If it is like my grandmother's it has "flash-defrost" where hot refrigerant (upon your pushing of a button) gas goes through the evaporator (freezer) and defrosts it all quickly.
Then take the collecting water from the tray under the freezer and pipe it down to another tray warmed by the compressor and I think we have covered all the above claims!

Nah I take that back. Not sure.
But I have never seen true frost-free with one door rather than two.

They say frost free, but could they mean cyclic defrost?
Do these fine looking specimens have a circulating fan?

It is frost free.......a feature Westiunghouse introduced in
The way it is done is as follows There is a chrome knob on the top part of the door frame and a button right above the freezer compartment next to the cold control. When the fridge door is shut the knob depresses the button. After this happens sixty times the button activates a heater that does the defrosting....that is according to a 1954 Wewstinghouse Fridge Manual I have. FYI the fridge in the manual I have is the same one that is in Lucy Ricardos kitchen when they move into the Benson apartment after Little Ricky is born...and that model has the electric door latch too...PAT COFFEY

The refrigerator was on "I Love lucy for a long time.The only "freezer"they had was a walk in they got from Ethel's uncle Arthur.

I bet Betty Furness looked lovely while standing next to these Westy food keepers on "Studio One" and other shows. No wonder she was more popular than Adali and Ike at the '52 conventions (which Westinghouse sponsored on CBS). I mean, really. Who would you rather have as a running mate--Nixon or Betty?!
