Mr Draper, your General Electric Frost Guard Refrigerator is here...

[Ultramatic]

 

 

OK, I wasn't expecting this to happen, well not so soon, but thanks to our intrepid Phil, here it is. A 1964 General Electric refrigerator with "Frost Guard". Hubby showed pictures to the mother-in-law and they both concluded I've gone off the deep end.  So have my parents, and my sister. But they just don't understand 60's COOL.  So be it. It's home and another piece of the puzzle falls into place.

While in no means "pristine" it's quite nice actually.

 



 



 

The middle shelve need's to be "adjusted". Nice and bright inside.

 



 

And baby, it's the swinging sixties!

 



 



 

Freezer is missing the ice cube trays and shelve. And it's quite small.

Nice fridge! Enjoy it! Great swinging 60s!

Thanks Jeff!

Your family says YOUVE gone off the deep end...

I'll spin that statement into what it SHOULD say...

Your family doesn't like it so, IMHO, THEYVE gone off the deep end! How's that? LOL!

That is a absolutely fantastic machine which buried the needle on the 'cool-o-meter' .you'll spiff that right up in no time. When the family visits, tell them that if they can't stand the coolness then stay out of the kitchen!

Sharp-looking fridge; I like the chrome trim around the doors. Perhaps it was designed that way to accept optional door panels?

Gorgeous Refrigerator . . .

It reminds me of my old and much missed '66 Frigidaire. Remember that swimming is best at the deep end!

It's Beautiful!
One of my most favorite GE Refrigerators.
Please tell us what you think about it.
Will it be your main refrigerator?
Happy Easter.

Jeff or John or Tom....
Correct me if I am wrong...but wasn't the Refrigerator section completely sealed off from the freezer section on these? (besides the water from the fridge coils)
For some reason this was a big seller in my neighborhood when I was a child. I remember all of the neighbors talking about how amazing it was to keep fresh vegetables and fruit in this particular model. If I remember correct only the freezer had the fan, and the fridge part was cooled solely by the coils on top.

@andrew, thanks! Hubby said to his mother. "Well at least it isn't pink." LOL!

 

@doug, I thought about that too when I saw it, but I don't think that was being offered yet. Thanks!

 

@hydralique Thanks, but I'm not a good swimmer. LOL!

 

@brent, It's a bit on the small side, but it will have to suffice until I find a bigger one.

3 lights in the fridge compartment. Love it! Thanks!

Your right Brent, the freezer does have the only fan.

A question for all those experts out there: Is "Frost Guard" GE's term for "Frost Free"?

 

[rp2813]

AFAIK, "Frost Guard" was GE's term for "frost free."

 

After reading Brent's post, this type of system sounds like a great hybrid.  One thing I really like about my '57 Combination is opening the door to the fresh food section and not hearing a fan whirring.

 

Louie, your fridge seems to be the perfect size for the back-up role I'd be using it for, with a more viable freezer than that of my Combination.

Thanks Ralph. I like the term "Frost Guard" better.

 

Well, until I find a larger, white, left hinged, bottom mount with Frost Guard, this will be the one for now. And something tells me I'm in for a LONG wait. Ralph, I only saw one shot of your combination, an interior shot at that. Have you posted any more pictures of it?

 

[Ultramatic]

Couldn't help myself...

 

 

 

[pulltostart]

Oh Yeah!

Contratulations! Another example of some fine General Electric styling. Please update us with pics after you clean her up.

Glad you got it, Louie! That is a very stylish fridge indeed. I miss the swing out shelves (had a 57 GE growing up. It's in really great shape, too. Congratulations!

 

[gansky1]

That is a great interim refrigerator, stylish and functional!  ;-)  You may even find that you needed less space than you thought initially and grow to love it.  The swing-out shelves are really nice, my favorite thing about these GE's.

 

 Congrats on your new leap into insanity, as others may see it, we're be behind you 100%.

Nice!
