"New" Refrigerator to go with my old appliances in my "new" house.

[elginkid]

It's a Frigidaire...but can anyone tell me what year? All I can say is, I don't want to buy any more appliances from anyone's basement. I have a feeling that if I want the good stuff though, I'll have to.

That freezer...Oy! Sometimes size does matter.

 

[elginkid]

That is some sexy goodness right there.

That's a nice fridge. We just need to find you a vintage chest freezer and dishwasher in Ohio and you'll be all set!

 

[classiccaprice]

P.S. Can't wait to see the stove!

My mom's best friend had that Fridge, around a 1950.

YES! Dishwasher!

If you want me in your house Wes, you NEED a dishwasher. This is non-negociable! Why wash dishes by hand when you can have a glorious vintage machine to do it for you? I'm thinking a Kitchenaid KD12 or so ought to do the job quite nicely.

See if you can get Robert to refurbish one for you just like his, complete with the window and light. For a custom color, howzabout Jadite green? If not that, howzabout Maytag agitator turquoise? Noting announces clean and sexy like Maytag agitator turquoise!

Mmmm... Turquoise!

Beautiful fridge and it looks like it will clean up nicely and without much effort. So it didn't have any crisper drawers? Looks like maybe it did at one time. And what's up with that half shelf up high with the sheer drop down to the next one? Maybe a Frigidaire expert can advise?

Wes. My grandmother in PA. had the same refrigerator. Now I was born in 1951, and remember this refrigerator growing up. SO....i would have to say lat 40's or early 50's

Hope this helps.

I think the half shelf was for dairy stuff, like eggs, and the sheer drop below was to allow space for milk bottles. My idiot brother had one just like this in the house he bought in 1989 (it had been the original owner's) and he just chucked it out, even though it still worked perfectly!!
This one really is a beauty - enjoy it!!

It's missing the crisper drawer, and I think there was a shelf between the small one, and the full size one. Nice 'fridge, my grampa had that one on the porch at his cottage. 1950 is pretty close.

I think Bob is right. A 1950. If it has the all enamel cabinet it weighs like a Megalith.

FYI there are people in Cleveland with any appliance you can imagine, with parts and the expertise to fix anything

There is a date on the bottom of the hot-wire relay.

Very good compressors in these refrigerators.
