Jon - I checked the keepers to see if they work (cool), then I put them in the shop, until I have time to get to them. If I scrap them, I have a friend who owns a appliance business. He takes the coolant, out of the units I'm going to scrap. I give him all appliance trim items (knobs, handles) and he gets the racks and drawers from interiors. He also gives me his scrap steel.
The one thing I wished I would have done is dry these refrigerators out good before we store them. Any moisture in them and doors closed causes bad corrosion problems for all electrical connectors. The corrosion could also be do to problems, Frigidaire had a bad freezer heater (broken connector) a clogged defrost drain (paper/$hit), and a open temp thermostat (probably corrosion). Hard to say what problem, who ever had it had, it was obviously not defrosting or draining so moisture build up, caused corrosion problems. Sold the Frigidaire for $75 (could have got more/with corrosion issues I'm OK with that). Sold the three side by sides (2 GE's & Whirlpool) to my buddy for $500. We just cleaned them up & they cooled good, my buddy said he would go through them anyway, recharging & will easily double his money. So we both come out good! Now I need to figure out, Should I do Washing Machines, Dryers or Window A/C units this week?
