12. A Kelvinator

I recently completed a deep clean inside and outside of our Kelvinator. It's a fridge that we keep for extra food storage, it's 14 cu ft.

I discovered the serial and model number when I took the crisper drawer. This refrigerator was manufactured in June of 1992 which makes it 34 years old this month.

Electrolux owns Kelvinator and today they only make Kelvinator's for commercial and not residential use.

I don't know how much life this Kelvinator has left in it. Just for fun I've been looking online at the classic retro looking refrigerators that are between 12 to 16.5 cu ft.
