Re: Ya gotta have a vintage Refrigerator
Hi! Evereyone,
I am new here. We just got a 50's Hotpoint fridge, it works great. The main problem is the gasket. I found a cut to fit gasket with almost the same profile, does anyone know if there is any problem using the modern magnetic gaskets on a vintage refrigerator? Also the front plastic pieces on either side of the door opening are flaking and cracked, any ideas on repair. I know I can form new one with fiberglass but was hoping for a quick fix. It doesn't have to be perfect just look decent and protect the insulation.
I don't want to start on the cabinet resto until we fix the functional problems. The door badge is missing, it's the V style. I guess I'll be haunting Ebay, flea markets and the like.
Thanks
Rev. Theresa
Re: Ya gotta have a vintage Refrigerator
Hello,
I've just purchased a 1936 Coldspot for $25. It runs but leaks some freon. The unit inside was replaced sometime around the 50's. Since I am not knowledgeable about refrigerator repair, I am wondering if I can just get new replacement parts or if the whole unit will need to be updated, etc.? Is this something I can fix on my own or if I had to hire someone, any idea of a general range of what it would cost?
Also, on the upper backside it is completely open so I can see the inner workings. Is this meant to be this way or is it missing some sort of panel? I've searched the web and the only info. I could find about my fridge was an old advertisement for a similar model (which of course doesn't show me the backside). Any help is greatly appreciated!!
