ours stopped working today.  tomorrow we leave for a few days.  that was close! :peep:  thank goodness for the garage fridge. :D  (which is much older and of course still works).  I might not have noticed until the morning except I wanted a bit of ice cream after dinner and pulled out a carton of ice cream soup.  (and of course I still had some :laugh:

I’ve been at my parent’s place for MULTIPLE holidays where a major appliance has failed. Cooking dinner?… oven crapped out. Fridge full of food?… warm and spoiled. Never the same appliance, but there was a time that it’s all we talked about was “what’s it going to be this year?”

I have a fear that my hot water heater is going to spring a leak while away on vacation. It hasn't given any indication of failure, but it's always in the back of my mind.

 

I have had an exterior faucet start running while on vacation. The neighbors taking care of the cat noticed it so I had them shut the water off to the house.

I like to shut off the master valve to the house (unless my nephews are stopping by each day) because paranoia can be useful sometimes :D

My parents fridge while my dad was out just stopped running. Fans were spinning and everything except the compressor. Luckily it’s a GE unit and I found some things to do some diag and found the compressor controller had failed. So my parents order a new controller I installed it and the fridge came to life. The fridge isn’t even that old either.
