Damn-it! The light bulb in my refrigerator died!

I'd be screwed if that happened to me because that's the only light source I have in me kitchen right now. Light bulbs are one of those things I always forget to buy.😕
 
thats always a bummer. they always have some proprietary light bulb that is really stupid and you have to order some special deal.

Time to replace the fridge

"Sorry sir, that's a non-replaceable light bulb... here's a brand new unit that comes with a fully guaranteed working light!~ Only $600, plus you could be without a light again so the $250 three-year warranty would be an excellent idea" /BB employee
 

Get another one at any apliance, lighting, or box store such as Sears/HomeDepot for $1~5 bux and stop crying.
 
Your lightbulb didn't die, Zim. This actually happens quite often when there is a power surge. The electrical system within your refrigerator reversed polarity, causing the motor to spin in the opposite direction and the lightbulb to turn on when the door is closed, and turn off when the door is open. This won't do any damage to the refrigerator, but the increased exposure to incandescent light may affect the taste of your beer. It's best to have a properly trained electrician take a look at the appliance to see whether it can be fixed.
Before calling the electrician, though, make sure that this is the problem (you don't want to call him for nothing, now do you?) Get inside the fridge and close the door. Remember to take the beer out first.

Zim, take the one out of your stove. That's what I do.

My stove doesn't have a light bulb and my local hardware store is out of appliance bulbs! 🙁
 
The small bulbs they sell for ceiling fan lights are the same thing.


Or leave a candle burning in there.
