Gibson Appliances

Gibson appliances which include ovens, ranges, and stoves are part of Frigidaire which is a brand of Electrolux. The Gibson Company was founded in 1877 in Belding, Michigan by Joshua Hall as the Belding Hall Company which sold cabinets which are blocks of ice that were housed and commonly known as ice boxes.

The area that is located near Belding, Michigan, had a workforce of very skilled Danish craftsman who had a ready supply of good hardwoods such as ash. In the early 1900s the company was bought by Frank Gibson who was a competing manufacturer of ice refrigerators. It was the largest company in the industry at the time. The company then began making electric refrigerators in 1932. If you happen to have one of these refrigerators that aren't working, Orange County Gibson Appliance Repair can repair it for you.

The Belding Hall Company invented the air sweep mechanism for the distribution of conditioned air, the upright freezer, and the refrigerator light.

The Hupp Corporation bought Gibson in 1956. Hupp and White Consolidated Industries merged into one company in 1967 and are currently owned by Electrolux. Electrolux began selling the first refrigerator that was built in during the 1930s. It was the perfect prototype for the kitchenette in the modern but small apartments of the time. The next year they began producing the very first air cooled refrigerator and the vacuum cleaner in Connecticut.Gibson appliance parts appear to still be readily available, however, the original appliances may not be in production any longer. However, if you have one that needs repair, you need to call Orange County Gibson Appliance Repair, conveniently located in Orange County City, to have it repaired.
