I have a similar model fridge and the light does not work. Switch tests out fine. Want to test for power at the light socket but I do not know how to get the temp dial off to remove the trim and get access to the screw. Can you advise?

I have one very much like this, mine is not so pretty. I like your 'on -off' and temp dials. Mine must have been the El cheapo model as it is plane. Mine does work well and is pretty quiet. I saw a video where a man had one that frosted up quickly, but he replaced his gasket and it basically stopped frosting up so much. I have mine on a timer, to run for 12 hours and turn off for an hour and run for another 12 hours, etc. 'With a little tray under the ice cube cooler part to catch the frost that melts on the 'off cycle'. I do occasionally turn mine into the defrost cycle for an hour. Love those monitor tops.

I have a similar fridge that I need a handle for? Do you sell parts?

Can I use lead or silver solder to do this? How do you determine what is the low side? I have a 1949 Philco

The most surprised thing about this video was despite having a full set of tools, including openend/box end wrenches sitting right beside him, he used an adjustable crescent wrench. Surely someone in the HVAC business knows how to use proper tools

In the 1st part of the video, the motor was runing?

Please rebuild the fan or get a new fan from funtronics llc

What oil you recommend if you know it is low on oil?

soooooo, you just blew off the remaining refrigerant?

Hi I have a fridge very similar to the one @1:31. Could you give me an estimate of age..my guess would be 1950's

Do you happen to have a YT Relay part#5850824 for a 1/8 hp meter miser compressor Frigidaire's most common, and demand for 1/8 hp YT relays.

I've got one of those too I'd like to restore and it still works. I'm sure it needs rewiring.. Do you hire out to refurbish? I have a lot of questions... Did you repaint it or have it enameled? Are there any restorers in the DALLAS area? TIA

I have this exact fridge and I can’t figure out the issue, where did you get a new starter relay

Useless.... you didn,t film the rebuild! You skipped ahead...don't quit your daytime job to become a video producer...

Where can I find a handle for the door?

How do you know what refrigerant to replace the old refrigerant with? Do you just use anything?

Hey, I have a 1930s Westinghouse refrigerator that I can’t get working right, I would love to pick your brain if you wouldn’t mind

that's very cool! did you ever repair/replace the electrical wiring on this? I have my grandparents original Hotpoint fridge, roughly same vintage timeframe. the cord was removed so I'd love to see a schematic or simple wire diagram.

Can you tell me where you got the carburetor kit for this? We have a 1948 Johnson HD 2.5Hp that we need to rebuild.

Nice old meter miser

where did you find your manual?

This looks like an early 1950’s model. On five and off thirty sounds perfect to me - and yes, you must change out the door gasket - it’ll never work properly without that.

Hi. I've not long bought a fridge exactly the same as this. How did you get on with yours?

what paint did you use and how ? a sprayer? how do you get the chrome so great? I have the same one I love it quiet and efficient the paint is all original but little worn I do polish it like a car and it looks good but may need painted I need one of the inside shelfs for the door I have 2 condement shelfs and butter but it looks like one more but i dont know what it is any info is great thanks

Just bought one, unbelievable how heavy they are.

Hello! Nice work in the fridge! I’m curious how do you remove the chrome pieces on the front? My sister is going to be restoring one so we need to redo the chrome also. Thanks for any info you have.

How can you determine the cost of a 1938 GM fridgidaire refrigerator

I am working on the same model. Could you let us know where you were able to get the coils ? Thank you

Thank you. I think that my model is the same. Do you happen to have part number for the carburetor kit and the water pump impeller and gasket? Thanks.

Hi there. I really enjoy the video. I will need to rebuild my carburetor soon, but I have trouble finding the rebuild kit. Can you share with me how you find it on eBay? Thanks.

David Allen has several videos repairing the control of Westinghouse. They were unique because it was a relay and thermostat combined. The gravity connection component likes to rust and lock up. Drilling is required to repair it.

Great job so far!

It sounds good, and the control looks good! As for the fan, it's definitely running too slow. I bet it needs more oil.

Funny seeing a compressor that big for a refrigerator that small. I guess that's why they lasted so long.

It probably helps to regulate the temperature better when there's more thermal mass inside. Maybe put a big pack of water bottles in and see how it does.

Here's hoping you'll be storing some nicely chilled beverages in that beauty soon!

I have this same type of fridge it still works good looking to sell.

Any update on this one? We have my Grandmother's 1946 thinking about restoring

I broke my light trying to get it to come loose it was stuck do you know where i could possibly buy one?

I take it the original compressor's windings were so high in resistance that it no longer had the power to start/run with a full charge?

My grandparents had a Frigidaire older than this one. It had a Delco-Remy 1/6 HP motor and two cylinder compressor, complete with drive belt.

R-12 or R-114?

I just picked up a 1941 Frigidaire from marketplace. It is missing the light switch/ socket assembly. Do you know where I can find parts?

Very nice work, ! So If you have an old fridge and the compressor craps out, you can just replace it with any fridge compressor of similar HP? I have an old international fridge that works great, but should I ever need to replace the pump I want to know I have options. Oh I have used 152a in lots of auto AC systems

Hope you are well + might you be able to help me??? My door handle is broken... + I can't find any video's on how to repair it... do you know how to repair it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGbcamOplq6Dh6s

Anyone know how to remove the glass for years light bulb in this model?
