Ice trays

If I'm not mistaken... The Ice ejector tray that goes to the one that you have doesn't have pegs. Is there any colored anodized metal inside the fridge? If so, that is the color of trays that you need. You know, match, match, match!!! I've seen them in Pink, Turquoise, Gold and Silver. The trays are very heavy. Is there a Cold-pantry picture window in the inside. Lets see some pictures!
 
A friend of mine is selling a old refrig meat tray on ebay.I dont know what yours is supposed to look like so heres the number 6150732032
 
Kenny, here's a pic of the ice collector, the metal accents for the freezer are silver, and the paint on the leading edge of the fridge shelves is blue. Any clues on what tray might fit?

Drmitch, I took a look, but what this one needs is the whole drawer. It figures they took out the drawer and the small shelf that would go above the drawer to leave them with an entirely flat upper shelf for beer/pop. One's gotta pop up somewhere...
 
Now why don't I have that kind of luck? :)

My grandmother had the Exact model in white, in her house they built in 1961; wish I had it!

Great model, ENJOY!!!
 
Frigidaire ice

Ok, I am no expert on this but....when I went to the local thrift store last week, there was this aluminum "holder" that looked suspiciously like it came from the freezer section of a refrigerator. It is about 10-12" long, approx 4" wide and approx 4" high. Could this be what you are looking for? There is no top on it. It is just open. I'll be glad to pop in there Wednesday (when they open) and pick it up.

In total ignorance and total awe of your find -

Cory, what a great find, and in the stainless/chrome finish no less. Didn't even know that was an option back then. Learn something new, that's why I love this site.

Congrats on your discovery.
 
This is what they look like

Minus the pegs that are on the end. The pegs go to the ones that slide in. If the trim is anodized blue the trays were probably anodized blue. I've seen a few on ebay.
 
These are different than the ones in the 63 model - do the pink ones have the same pull handle-ejection system in your refrigerator? I really like the smaller cubes - much better for those highballs!

Here are the later versions that work with the bin in Cory's freezer...
 
I beleive you turn the ice tray upside down over the ice bin and match up the slot to the ejector on the ice tray and pull then push the lever. The ice is released into the bin. Not quite automatic, but spares you the drudgery of pulling a lever and getting ice chips all over the place.
 
Ice Trays

John:

Hey, that makes sense. I remember wrestling with those ice trays as a kid. As a result, I usually drank my Kool-Aid without ice ;-) Would loved to have had that feature in our fridge.

Venus,

We were the "lucky" family in my neighborhood. Our 1966 Coldspot "twindor cupboard" bottom freezer refrig had an icemaker. We used to supply ice to the neighbors for parties, etc. Best refrig we EVER had, hence my profile name!

The ejector is on the inside of the freezer. The tray slides in and drops down then the ice comes free and you pull the tray back out. There are tracks that the pegs fit into. The trays are much heavier than the tray that you have in the picture.
 
Interesting, the many different ways of making ice are very fascinating. Each brand trying to make it just a little bit easier. All these cool refrigerator finds lately have really been fun to see. I should spend nights reading the service books again!

No more refrigerators though, I have way too many major appliances already!!
 
Frigidaire lookout......

....but Greg...if you happen to stumble onto, let's say, a 1961 through 1967 Frigidaire Imperial Frostproof....you will call me won't you?

Venus ;-)
 
Energy

Cory and I are working..... on a project. While 'working', we threw around the idea last night to put a meter on the Hotpoint and the Frigidaire to find out exactly how much they draw on his hour meter.

We'll see if we can get to that in the next century.
 
energy hogs

Does anyone have any experience with those devices that claim to make motors run more efficiently? I've seen them at Home Depot, they have a little demonstrater where they have a motor running and you can switch this device in and out of the circuit and shows how the motor runs quieter and uses less power when this device is in the circuit. It comes in an outlet version a,d in a version that can be installed in a breaker panel for things like central A/C
 
My Whirlpool

Would love to know how much energy the 1983 Whirlpool fridge uses. I'm sure it's making the old electric meter spin!
