Manhyia Palace Museum worker, Justice, provided insights into a vintage appliance as part of the V3 report commemorating the 25th anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s reign as Asantehene.
He revealed that the refrigerator, which was acquired 74 years ago, has never undergone any maintenance or repairs.
Remarkably, it has never had its motor replaced or its refrigerant gas refilled.
“This fridge, 74 years this year, still works. We have never changed the motor; we have never filled the gas. As it was in 1950, so it is today,” he said.
“I am telling you; this fridge is 74 years old this year. We haven’t changed the motor since then, we haven’t filled the gas,” he added.
The TV3 presenter inspected the fridge and found it in perfect working condition, with ice still forming inside when turned on.
