The General Electric appliance year of manufacture info as supplied by the GE corporation associates the year of manufacture with a letter of the alphabet starting in 1944. They give (1944 = A) (1945 = B) (1946 = C) and (1947 = D). This is supposed to occur in the serial #.
The FEA square top replacement for the monitor top for the years 1944 - 1946 appears to have a serial # that starts with 44 45 or 46 which must be the year of manufacture.
I have counted four versions of the FEA -2 flat top replacement refrigerating replacement unit with the A B C or D occuring in the last segment of the model info.
I would propose there were four model years:
1944 FEA - 2- A16 ( Serial # starting with 44 and longitudinal mounted motor with exposed electrical terminals and porcelain u shaped evaporator. 7 oz of r12)
1945 FEA - 2- B16 ( Serial # starting with 44 or 45 and longitudinal mounted motor with exposed electrical terminals and porcelain evaporator with separate freezing shelf with tubing connecting it. 9 oz of r12)
1946 FEA - 2- C16 ( Serial # starting with 45 or 46 and longitudinal mounted motor with exposed electrical terminals and with a stainless steel evaporator. 11 oz of r12)
1947 FEA - 2- D16 ( Serial # starting with 82 and transverse mounted motor with covered electrical terminals and with a stainless steel evaporator. 11 oz of r12)

This is great information! Thank you for sharing it. I believe I have one form A and one form B machine. I think Travis has one form C.

I looked at my 3 today, looks like your are right on target.
1# has only a serial on the tag, no model. Serial is 44-579-203, has blue porcelain evaporator with active shelf, control is dated Nov. 6 1944
2# model FEA-2-B16, serial 45-204-353,has blue porcelain evaporator with active shelf, control is dated Jan. 10-1945

We have a 1946 square top and wondered if any one has a wiring diagram for this as we are having problems with keeping the temperature constant after we moved it.

I have a FEA-2-D16. It has had the starting relay replaced and not sure it is correct. Does anyone know what HP the motor was? The label is rubbed off and I can't tell. I think its a 1/8 HP but could also be a 1/6. All I can tell is there is that bottom round part on a 6 or 8. After looking at the wiring diagrams for the FEA's I am more sure it is 1/8 HP but would like a second opinion. The next question is where to get a new start relay for this. store.antiqueappliances.com/StartRun-Relay_p_16.html has what looks to be a modern replacements for 1/12 to 1/5 HP motors. |

Your FEA is a 1/8 HP machine and; if you are using an aftermarket start relay, it needs a Supco RO81 device. Antique Appliances sells these at a high markup and with their own same part number for TWO DIFFERENT Supco parts, which actually have different numbers. Supco RO81 - 1/12 to 1/5 HP 115V Supco RO41 - 1/4 and 1/3 HP 115V These are available from online parts suppliers for less than $10. They usually are available at local suppliers for around that same cost. For instance, Zoro has it for about $9. https://www.zoro.com/supco-overload-relay-112-15-hp-115v-ro81/i/G9889595/ |

It has not messed up since but given you comments about the relay, I thought I might want to replace it just to be sure. I have no idea what has been done to it. It looks like the Fan was replaced. Do you know if these models have service ports on them to see if it is charged correctly? I did not find anything that looked like a a modern port. |
