'50s Westinghouse Fridge Cant find ANYTHING! (DFD-84)

[Paco77]

Model Number

DFD-84

We just bought a 1950s Westinghouse refrigerator for our retro kitchen. It's missing drawers and we want to replace them. But this refrigerator BARELY exists. Other than one photo we found on google, we can't find anything on this specific refrigerator. The model number doesn't come up with anything. We planned to use it in our retro kitchen but it only has one shelf currently.

The story from the previous owner is that it was bought new for cheap because Westinghouse was misspelled on the front. It has been painted over but we want to attempt restoration.

But this refrigerator BARELY exists. The model number doesn't come up with anything.

Information on appliances before the 1980's is rarely found online. One of the few places that has some older product owner's manuals is here:

It's missing drawers and we want to replace them.

It looks like the crisper drawers are there. I assume you mean just the meat drawer.

Something like that might eventually come up on eBay. Otherwise I think your best bet is looking for another whole fridge to buy for parts. You could also try asking at some of the restoration companies at the following link. Maybe they have such parts kicking around they might be willing to sell separately?

Good luck!
