It's a mystery wrapped in an inigma....
Who knows what happened to mine.
I've had the upper fascia panel off, because it was loose on the brackets and the hardware was missing or wrong. The letters and GE badge appear to have been removed at one time because some of their push through tabs are broken off, and there is yellow glue holding what's left of the good tabs and the broken tabs, to the panel. So that had me thinking the lettering had been removed, and the panel, along with the door, repainted. But there is not another color on the back side of the panel...it's just the normal looking factory overspray from being painted white, and the paint is hard and glossy, like I'd expect from the original paint.
The whole interior is pink, except for the metal porcelain enamel drawers, which are their original white as you see in the photo.
The outside appears now to have been painted pink, in order to match the interior color? At least that's my latest guess. There's pink overspray on the back where the original paper electrical wiring label is still stuck on, and I don't think a factory paint job would have looked like that.
No guess why the harvest gold paint just for the surround area, but that's definately a rattle can job.
My freezer has the same door gasket shape and lower grill as your combo, and the same plastic surround trim, and interior door panel shapes. I was going to ask if you'd show off your interior, but didn't want to be a PIA. Thanks for posting the photo because your fridge is in fantastic condition!
