    Insulation tech is better, yes, but also the insulation of a 40 year old fridge is by now totally fucked.

      Please explain how fridge insulation degrades with age.

      I would assume it’s made of something chemically stable and protected from the environment by the fridge casing.

        The doors, rubbers, etc definitely degrade very fast. The walls probably not so fast, but the casing also gets beaten up.

          Rubber seals wear out yes, but how does painted steel, unless the fridge is at the bottom of a lake?
