Frigid Fridge!

It turns out there was an actual reason for why our fridge/freezer hasn't been working lately! It hasn't been all that cold inside either our fridge or our freezer, which is joined together. The motor also turns on periodically, which we originally thought was normal.

Well, the repair guy came over the other day and it turns out there was a gas leak in our fridge and so the motor has been working over-time to make up for the extra work. In the end it has resulted in our fridge not working. We could get it repaired but it would cost just as much as a new fridge.

It was just fortunate that when we mentioned it to our aunty and uncle who came to visit the other night (and we managed to tidy the lounge in an hour! Probably because we chucked everything into other rooms and shut the doors!) as they had a spare fridge that they said we could have!

This morning we got up early and had to empty our fridge and then try shift it out of the house which turned out to be quite a difficult task. Our dad put two planks of wood on the steps and we used it as a ramp to push the fridge down.

We then went over to our aunty and uncle's and they put the fridge in their car which made it resemble a hearse, only with a fridge in it rather than a coffin! We took it home, brought it inside and got it going.

We now have a fridge that actually works!
