In the middle of a heat wave, the 4yr old fridge gave it up.Thank heaven we have a freezer ,plus an old,small fridge in the garage.

I have fresh veggies on my counter,along with bottles of pickles etc that don't have to be cold. That old fridge is so small & no ice cubes.

Repairman can't get here till later NEXT wk.OH,my!

that is not good, we just purchased a new fridge and put the old one in yard last night for free. Husband left for work this morning and it is already gone.
I would have saved it for you!

Same thing happened to us last week-fortunately, we also have a fridge in the basement, one in the garage and a freezer. Good news-it was a fan, and my husband ordered one on Friday and installed it on Tuesday. Saved a lot on repair bills and wasn't a difficult job-maybe you could do the same?

that is terrible, hope you get it fixed soon (we have an extra refrigerator in the garage the one we got in 1975 when we got married and still runs)

we remodeled the kitchen years ago and had to get a new one for the color in the kitchen, didn't want harvest gold anymore in the kitchen so we put it in the garage
