I know in SoCal there were public service ads (and later laws) that said to remove the doors on old refrigerators/freezers.

When I was a child in the 50s my father was remodeling some apartments and had some refrigerators in the back yard but he had removed the doors. We had no television so he must have read to do that in the newspaper or maybe just common sense from growing up on a farm.
