Nice surprise this morning.

[deermanok]

When the Mrs. Got up this morning, she went to the fridge to grab the coffee creamer and discovered that our less than 4 year old refrigerator stopped working.
What a mess. We had maybe 10 to 12 pounds of various meats in the freezer section, pork chops and ribs along with about 5 pounds of beef burger and a small 2 pound venison roast from last year.
It was all thawed out. I ended up cooking all that meat for the dogs. They're happy

That sucks. New fridge or repair?

We'll probably just get new.

I have a feeling the dogs may have had something to do with this!

Dang it man. That does suck. I'm sorry for all the food loss & the cost of a new frig or repairman. On the bright side, the doggie buffet had to be nice for them.

We cooked up a big pot of rice to go along with the burger.
Yup, they all had a nice treat.
Still plenty for the rest of the week.

They don’t make them like they used to. We had one for over thirty years when I was a youngster. Now I’m in my seventies seems like I’ve replaced the last two every ten years or less. Technology sucks.

Nice surprise for the dogs at least. That stinks.

 

[toytruck]

I had that happen in 2020, freezer started to go. It was a Kenmore over 40 years old. I saved all the contents, just refroze the venison, it was still cold, most still frozen. PIA to say the least, not to mention trying to find one then. Now have a new Frigidaire that only has one year warranty, hoping for much more!

 

[deerlessbob]

I’d look for canine tooth marks on the wiring.

 

[Tony gilbert]

man that sucks for you them dogs where in heaven im sure they plan for these things to go out now every 5 years i gotta get a new freezer they dont last long on my porch anymore

 

[Blackrock]

We'll probably just get new.

My youngest son is HVAC and when his refrig went out he replaced the fan assembly on the compressor. Somewhere around $40. He said anyone can do it---just You Tube it. Beats $1200 for a new one!!

 

[Renegadehunter]

If there's a possible positive side, you just reminded me I've been wanting to buy a freezer thermometer alarm for my basement chest freezer. It is now ordered.

Isn’t that the Truth. The New Refrigerant, Energy Efficiency & COVID Built SUCKS! I just had a Freezer go out after just 9 Months It was fixed under Warranty but having to scramble to Salvage All the Precious Game Meat was a Serious Hassle!

We had a small chest freezer quit on us many years ago.
I can still smell the order of spoiled meat, chicken and fish.
It was also in the basement.
Don't know how many days it was out.

 

[11th Corps]

Was your fridge a Samsung?

 

[deermanok]

Was your fridge a Samsung?

No, it's a Kenmore.
We had someone from the appliance store in town come out for a service call.
He says the compressor is going bad but he got it running again, for now.
Not worth replacing the part.

 

[GLenn]

Was your fridge a Samsung?

Yes. Just replaced one that was 7 years old. Ice maker frozen up and ice build up hitting the fan and making a horrible noise. You-tube videos show how to thaw it out but then in time freeze up again. For what they cost it should not be happening.
