New Refrigerator

[dpritz]

Here are some picts of the fridge I picked up this weekend at a thrift store for $35! It works great and will be used as our daily driver when we unstainless steel our kitchen. I will be posting pictures of that project when it gets started in a month or so. There is a dial thing behind the kick panel does anyone know what its for when you turn it the fridge turns off?

Suggestion:

Your new fridge's finish would benefit enormously from a car product called TR3 Resin Glaze. It's at most good auto parts stores, somewhere in the car wax section.

It removes oxidation and light surface rust and leaves a really nice gleam. It takes a bit of elbow grease, but the results are pretty miraculous. In addition to the polishing and waxing properties, it enrichens the color just a bit - your yellow will "pop" a bit more.

I don't know where in Atlanta you are, but somewhere near you should be an auto parts store that carries the stuff. I used to get it at the Pep Boys on Cobb Parkway.

Thanks for the tip I haven't cleaned it at all but was going to and I will check that stuff out!

in the toe kick area is the defrost timer.

that makes sense why if you turn the dial it turns the fridge off. thanks wiskybill

Nice firdge!

My grandparents had a similar GE like it in white, with the ice maker. The only thing I am aware of that was ever replaced on it was the defrost timer that I did for them when I was a young man.

I want to try that cleaner Sandy recommended--sounds like just the ticket.

Good luck!
