Revised defrosting instructions....

I thought this was "cute" Wonder how many 1948 combos had the refrigerant leaked out from a knife hole in the freezer coils? The first set of defrost instuctions made me cringe...

Man Rick - love your icebox! These early GE combos have a soft spot in my heart. See if you can spot the differences/changes from '48 to '51 (taken just moments ago):

Hi Ben, I think they tried to make use a what space they had in the original design by: moving the butter compartment to the centre of the door, installing a wire basket in place of the small shelf/rack on the upper right, and put the ice tray racks together at the top of the freezer. Maybe your bins are a bit larger too?

I do LOVE these early combos too! So much style, and so well built!
I thought Timot would not agree to keeping this upstairs, but he loves it too! Now to find a basement fridge with an icemaker.... <:

Where, O-WHERE??? Please post a link, if you can!

We really need a new gasket for our '49 Westinghouse, and I've tried all sorts of substitutes, and none have worked.

try calling Gordon at Home Appliance in Fort Wayne. Be sure to have your model # ready for him. He found the gaskets for my GE combo.
His number is 260-422-2788. I cannot say that he can do you any good, but he will sure take the time to try and help you.

I see one big difference between Rick's, and Ben's. Rick's has more stuff in it! 8^)

Both gorgeous 'fridges!
