Ad: " This is a 1961 General Electric, 3.2 AMP, Model # BH18PF2, Refrigerator. I don't know if it runs, I got it to use for a display piece at our store. Yellow on the outside, pink on the inside! The metal shelves are 'Lazy Susan' style! Has a step-peddle at bottom front, to open up top front door 'hands-free'. The bottom drawer is a drop-in freezer basket. The inside is in pretty great condition. The outside sides has some discoloration and/or paint loss from storage over the years (maybe kept in a garage and/or being moved around).
It's too nice to be scrapped, great RETRO piece, should be restored and treasured (retro kitchen, chic store, appliance refubrisher)...they don't make them like this anymore. "

It definitely IS too pretty to be scrapped, but "I don't know if it runs" means it doesn't.

The pink liner indicates 1957. 

 

All one has to do is plug it in and turn it on to determine whether or not it runs/cools, so the ad copy is B.S.  If it was obtained with the intention of having it function as a display case, that was probably because it wasn't in running condition.

exactly

hand + Plug + socket + plug in socket with hand = life or death
