It's been 110 - 115 here for weeks. My fridge died a few days ago. I called
Sears for service on my fridge maintance contract. Yesterday guy didn't
show up - or at least disn't call my cell or landline and make his presence
known. Rescheduled appt not till 8/11 - a week from today.

Pronlem is, in this heat, how can I get cool/cold drinking water? Fridge is
at about 80 - so drinking water stored there is pretty warm. Can't think of
any way to cool it. Does someone make a little not too expensive cooler?
Probably would beed a compressor and be quite expensive. Probably same for
as very small fridge, is such exists.

Any ideas? I'm probably SOL but figured it couldn't hurt to ask here. Some
very smart ingenious people here.

Another sad maintenance contract story. I suppose with the heat, maybe
you can't get anyone real fast, but a week is pretty bad.

I'd use a cooler with a bag of ice from the supermarket every day.

small "dorm" refrigerators are $75 or so at plenty of outlets.

There are also small ones marketed for truckers, etc., that will
operate off DC or a transformer. Ditto for pricing.

I've seen both of these as low as $50. They're also frequenlty
available at second hand shops like Habitat, Goodwill, etc.

NOTE: Make sure to sit them upright for at least 12 hours
before turning on. Otherise Bad Thing [tm] can happen

That would be my fist choice. Head to WalMart While waiting for it to
cool, toss in a bag of ice to get by a few hours.

I'd call Sears and bitch every day too. Maybe twice a day. This is
terrible.

Water would be of least concern. Warm water will not harm you. What about warm food?

Hang some bottles in front of your ac.

At present, besides condiments, I am only keeping eggs and bread in fridge.
They should be obvious if bad. So far, so good. Used both yesterday for
lunch. Five more days. I expect to see mold on the bread any day now. My
other food is mostly all from cans.

I thought of that yesterday afternoon - only I use a swamp cooler. Helps
somewhat - water almost cool.

I thought Sears went out of business.

Found a big used fridge for $40 delivered. Now I have cold water. Ahhhh!
And a place to put perishable food. Put it in my shop.
