Hi!
I happen to watch this show and have it set to record on Tivo, so I
was able to pause and view the appliances very well in close-up since
I could not find the information on the Food TV web site or on any
search engine.
The refrigerator brand is Northstar and the color is buttercup yellow.
It can be purchased on the following website, however it doesn't come
cheap:
http://www.elmirastoveworks.com/1950.html
The refrigerator comes in 8 colors, plus custom, and ranges in price
from $2,695 - $2,995, depending on color. The buttercup yellow is
$2,795.
This company also sells the refrigerator:

Moving on to the stove -
I searched extensively and was unable to find a source for the stove
or even the brand. It appears to be an actual vintage stove, which
would not be uncommon to find these days. But, there are several
wonderful sources for new vintage and retro stoves/ovens/ranges so you
will easily be able to find something close to the one on the show.
You might even find one you like better!
They have some wonderful ones here:

Epinions.com has tons of information on retro stoves, including many
buying links, plus repair links and a whole wealth of information
regarding vintage stoves in general. Be sure to scroll down to the
bottom for the links and addresses.

A good source for retro-look appliances and housewares is Appliance
411, so if you want to totally deck your kitchen out in retro, you'll
surely be able to find some great items here:

Thanks for the fun question! I had a great time looking at all these
wonderful appliances! Let me know if you need any clarification.

Many thanks to Mother, who added comment below. After finding out the
name of the stove, I was able to search and easily find it. As I
originally thought, it is in fact an antique stove.
You can see it here:
http://www.antiquestoves.com/chambers.htm
If you are interested in buying one there are a couple for sale in the
classifieds of Antique Appliances:
http://www.antiqueappliances.com/stoveclass.htm
Here is an identical one from the show (the pale yellow) for sale for
$3000:
http://www.macysclassicstoveworks.com/classifieds/010703-2.html
From the research I've done it appears that a stove in non-working
order runs between $100 and $400. Fully restored/working can go up to
around $3600.
Other sites of interest regarding the Chambers Stove are as follows:

I hope this helps in your search for these appliances!
