Glad to hear it's OK. They're noisier in the beginning due to rapidly boiling off all the refrigerant that has collected in the compressor sump. The dome is on the low-side of the compressor, so any refrigerant in the oil will boil off as rapidly as the refrigerant in the evaporator until it's gone. You'll also notice that the dome may get colder before it gets warm, due to this effect.
Also, to be specific, yours looks like a painted cabinet.

Well, I know its been painted several times. I was just hoping that under all that paint would be porcelain... Oh well, time to get out the stripper, sandpaper, primer and paint!

Nice kitchen, I see you have the subway tile and the floor tile for that period also.
I would do the rewiring first before you paint it . You we’ll need to pull the top off is the easier way to do it . And separate the deck plate from the the top . ckfan has a post on how he did his to give you an idea of the steps. I redid the paint on mine first and then realized how bad the wiring was. So then had to be very careful of not scratching my new paint.

Thanks! Yes, the subway tile and floor tile replaced what was originally in the house. We restored this little Bungalow as a weekend home, but moved in full time almost 10 years ago. It's kind of like living in a museum! The entire house is done in the 1920's period. The stove is a 1920's Sterling gas stove I got from the original owner! All furnishings are Arts and Crafts, which is why I needed a monitor top! Good point about waiting on the paintwork. I've started sanding, but will rewire it before I apply the finish coat. I Can't post a picture (says the forum is full!) but here's a link to a thread on the AFCA website with a picture of the stove. www.afcaforum.com/forum7/54973.html
