Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

This is a whirlpool built top freezer refrigerator, it was a good basic reliable top freezer model, the serial number would tell us how old it is. It’s somewhere in the 80s.

The color would be harvest wheat, or whatever they called the non-shaded yellow at that time.


I don’t know if it’s worth $1000, it would use a little over twice as much energy as a new refrigerator the same size otherwise it may run for a long time.

Holy frijoles... talk about rare! I'm not certain a grand is actually too much, though it'll probably limit the pool of potential buyers a bit. Seems a shame it's been taken out of the box, I hope they thought to do so carefully, and kept the box to include with the fridge.

They did. And i agree, a thousand is a bit much, I'm sure it will come down, or at least be negotiable.

It would in fact be very interesting to compare the power consumption of this brand new well made refrigerator to something made today. I'd bet it is actually more efficient. Better made motor, better made compressor, more efficient refrigerant (R-12) etc, etc.

Older refrigerators that do not have automatic defrost have been demonstrated to be more efficient than modern frost free refrigerators, but that's a less fair comparison.

My problem is, the efficency requirements are mostly driven by the DOE. ALL they care about is how much energy it takes to do the job. Never mind the energy and other resources it will take to build and deliver the replacement when the thing fails after 5 years, instead of lasting 20. Same thing with cars. Turbos in nearly everything, stop-start "technology" in nearly everything. Awful combination, sure to kill the engine off in short order...

Cylinder deactivation prematurely wears out lifters, piston rings, piston skirts, and cylinder walls.
