Reporting New Freezer Models
Over time, new models are released and existing models are reworked or retired. New models will be added and indexed here once drawings have been completed. I hope to keep up with changes as they come over time.
Which Models Are Supported
I can't support every model that has ever been produced. As a general rule of thumb, let's keep it to models that are chest freezers, have been manufactured within the last 10 years, and is made to run on 120V (sorry, Brits).
Yes, I'm willing to draw up something for your CraigsList find that is no longer in production as long as it meets the above criteria and you can supply me with the necessary measurements.
Requesting Drawings for a Qualifying Model
Gather the information below, assemble it, and reply to this thread with it.
Required Information to Produce the Spec Sheets and Layout Drawings
When reporting a new model, you'll need to provide the following information for me to be able to create the spec sheet and layout drawings.
- Brand Name, Capacity and Model Number
Ex: GE 14.9cf FCM15SUWW
- Colors Available
Ex: White, Black
- Availability
Ex: In-store, Online
- Everyday Pricing
Ex: $489 @ Lowe's, $499 @ Home Depot, $515 @ Sears
- Exterior Dimensions
Ex: 48-5/16" W x 29-5/8" D x 36" H
- Interior Dimensions
Ex: 42-7/8" W x 22-1/4" D x 30" H
- Compressor Hump Size
Ex: 9-5/8" W x 22-1/4" D x 10-5/8" H
Note: If it's easier for you to measure the space from the hump to the lid, that's fine too.
- Special Features
Ex: Thermostat control has a refrigerator setting that runs the unit at 38ºF without the use of an external controller.
How to Take Measurements
I'm sure we're all capable with a tape measure. However, it's not uncommon to find two people post different measurements for the same freezer. We're only human, after all! Consistency can be easily achieved if we use the same criteria when measuring.
- Take all measurements to a precision of 1/16".
- For interior measurements, always round down to the nearest 1/16".
- For exterior measurements, always round up to the nearest 1/16".
- Include the height of the wheels in the exterior measurement, if installed.
