Default The refrigerator lady

Monday April 20, 2015, 3:30 PM

Got a call this AM, elderly woman who says
her refrigerator runs too much, and do I
repair refrigerators.

Sure, pleased to come out and look at it. I
need the unit running when I arrive, so I can
tell what the problem is. She agreed to leave
it running. It's about 10 AM, and I'm going
there about 1 PM, figure that will be enough
time for the unit to stabilize, so I can
figure out what is wrong.

So, 1 PM and I arrive at the house. The freezer
is warm, the ice cubes are liquid. The refrig
is warmer than room temp. The cold control is
set to "OFF" which isn't what I asked for.

Seh apologizes, must not have understood what I
said on the phone. I suggested I should return
at 4 PM and chck it again. I'm thinking that even
if I find it all okay, still not sure if there is
a problem why it would be running all the time.
Some things like defrost problems need a week to
really show up.

Anyone want to take a guess what I will find when
I return, in half hour from now?

The local fire department has a slogan: Find 'em hot, leave 'em wet!

That what you did?

Them fire department hose would say some thing like that.

I think the old gal was confused. She was more confused
when I left. I think the fridge is fine, if she'd quit
turning it off and let everything warm up. Surprised she
doesn't have food poisoning.
