Show me your GE Combination, I'll show you mine

Cool Refrigerator

And a good price, is it a Frost Guard Freezer ? it will say on the freezer handle, on almost all Combination models you still had to defrost the freezer.

 

Before I would install this ref in my kitchen I would clean it up underneath and replace the condenser fan motor [ if not already done ] and then let it run in the garage for several months and try to use it as much as possible while carefully motioning the temperature in the Ref and freezer sections to be sure that it is really working correctly. We see a lot of older refrigerators in homes that have been regulated to basements etc that do not work properly.

Frost Guard? Yes!

Take a look at reply #7/photo #8.  At lower right on the top of the freezer door/handle you can see it.

 

I'm surprised GE didn't make a bigger deal of this with easily visible "Frost Guard" verbiage on the front of the fridge.   After all, it was a major improvement that eliminated a much dreaded household task.   They got around to it on later models, but I don't know exactly with which model year.

 

I monitored the temperature in my Combo for about three years until the battery on the digital thermometer went dead.  I used a glass of water in the warmest area of the fridge (bottom shelf toward the front) and kept the temperature probe in it.

Nice catch!

Enjoy. It is a diamond in the rough.
