Our fridge which has been running for many years has failed to work since we last defrosted it. Looking for a vintage fridge expert to help fix it please? Any details of someone who can help greatly appreciated.

FFS a 70 year old fridge,,,
Though was the brand LEC about in 1950? Perhaps he means a modern (relatively) 1950's style fridge.
I don't know why I'm wasting my breath, there is never any follow up from the users of that site.
1950s wasn't that old when I was a bit younger.
Yes.

With a pink interior.
We had a Frigidaire with a green interior. After it went to fridge heaven I had the icebox drip tray as a pens and odds-and-ends tray.

Ours was a Kelvinator. A creamy shade. And we got it second- or more hand.
1950s means it uses R12, same as any fridge from the 1930s upto the 1990s. Any refrigeration engineer should be able to work on it.

Is it really worth it? If its that old it used CFCs for the gas, so regassing it may not be possible these days assuming you can get it to seal. Our old Frigidaire died due to a tiny pin hole in the zig zag pipes at the back. That was not really fixable, and by that time the insulation was decomposing and the early plastic moulded interior had gone very brittle and cracked at stress points. Brian
I do think the poster needs to find a better place to post from also. Brian
