cleaned refrigerator, it'll bake the new paint as it heats up so it sort of smells just like a new one.
Another Cleaning Idea
Here's a tip from another owner whose fridge did not work at all on gas and barely got cool on
electric:
These old absorption units can be real troublesome if not kept clean and mine was full of rust so
I removed the burner and cleaned it. Now for an old trick from my days as a refer repair man. Go
to Wally World and purchase a 12 gage shotgun cleaning kit. It will contain a round wire brush
on a metal pole. Attach the brush to an electric drill and polish out the heat riser tube in the
fridge. Be sure to remove the spiral heat deflector inside the tube it hangs on a wire that is
attached to the top of the tube. Polish out all the rust in the tube also remove any rust from the
heat deflector. Now put it all back together and then turn the refrigerator upside down and let it
set over night. This causes the fluids to circulate in the system and dissolve any of the solids that
may have formed due to the refrigerator being run unleveled. It is not as much of a problem in
these small fridges but the larger ones can get “vapor locked “if run unleveled. Turn the unit
right side up and let it set for another 12 hrs then it is ready to reinstall.
