Pete M Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 ours stopped working today. tomorrow we leave for a few days. that was close! thank goodness for the garage fridge. (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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 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?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex06 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Yup. Every single hurricane (technically it's the power but the end result is the same). Throw it all away and clean the fridge out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 the fans are spinning, the compressor is vibrating, but nothing is becoming either hot or cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 ran out of things to check, so I ordered a piercer valve and gauge to attempt a refill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
