Left the fridge door cracked open the other night, didn't notice it until I went to get something out later the next afternoon.
Over the last few days, the fridge just hasn't seemed.. normal. Liquids in the fridge part seemed warmer than usual, and some ice cream that I had in the freezer was extremely soft.
I had also noticed that every time I passed the fridge, it was on.. causing me to eye it wearily. Overall, it seemed that perhaps our 20 year old refrigerator was on its way out. A test seemed to confirm it, as temperatures in the freezer were only 21ºF. Normal freezer temperature is -4ºF.
I did remember the door being left open, though.. and the above thought occurred to me. So I shut it off. After a couple of hours, I went back into the kitchen.. and was greeted with a big puddle of water emanating from under the fridge. :frown:
Fired 'er back up.. Already down to -1.1ºF in the freezer after only 1/2 hour.
