Yesterday my fridge seemed a bit cool. Wrote it off to the automatic
defrost cycle.

This morning, it still seemed too cool. The frozen meat agreed.


Couple years ago, the same thing happen to ours. So, when the boss left
to
go someplace, I dropped everything and fixed the fridge. it made her mad,
cause she couldn't go buy a new one. Go figure, sometimes you can't win.

I kept a 1968 Inglis going till a couple years ago, probably could
have saved it with another new start relay, but figured it was time
for a new one, I had replaced the condenser fan twice and the
evaporator fan once as well as the relay and start cap.

I used a 1947 Fridgidaire that I fished out of the trash from the late 60s
through 1987, it died when some particle lodged in the lubrication hole
for the piston and the compressor seized up. So, that's 40 years of
operation - anyone top that?

We had a 1937 GE sealed unit fridge using sulphur dioxide refrigerant which
had been bought new by my parents. It was in use until 1991 when it siezed.
Only previous problem was a faulty thermostat sometime in the 1970's.
