What is the difference between the Frigidaire Imperial Frost Proof and Deluxe Frost Proof fridge?

Thanks PhilR

Thank you PhilR ! I'm really excited to have her home finally. This model is fabulous and I love all of the luxuries it offered for it's time.

Can you tell me this - the seals on the doors have the magnets to help them stay closed and the freezer door doesn't want to stay tightly closed like the fridge door. I noticed there is a lot of dirt on the seal going around the freezer so I'm hoping once I get it cleaned up (tomorrow) that it will stay shut tightly - but by any chance does the foot pedal mechanism have anything to do with keeping the freezer door closed? I'm thinking not but figured I would ask. Also, would you mind, when you get a chance, taking a picture of the foot pedal mechanics with the door open so I can have a baseline to compare mine to know that I have everything? Thank you so much for considering my request.

I would possibly imagine that if the foot pedal broke off while someone was stepping on it to open it, the metal bar that opens the door might be stuck in the opening position or part way. This may cause an obstruction in keeping the door closed firmly.

Solved the freezer door seal issue !!

It just took loosening the pairs of screws on the top and bottom hinge, pulling the door out from the unit a little and tightening them all back down - now she seals like the top - perfectly!!!
