We had to throw out a lot of food

Tweet

We had a nasty surprise when we returned home from two nights away with friends. Our fridge has an ice-maker/cold water component and, just before we left, we noticed water coming from the nozzle. We turned off the water to that part of the unit and went on our way. However, when we got home, we were dismayed to find that the fridge itself had failed and everything had thawed. We had to throw out all the food from the freezer section. Luckily, it was garbage collection day and we were able to throw the thawed food straight into the bin. To make it worse, it was a public holiday so little chance of getting anything done till the next day. We cranked up a car fridge that was in the shed and, to cut a long story short, we bought a second-hand fridge as an interim measure until we get the insurance sorted out, etc. Someone is coming tomorrow to assess what is wrong with our own fridge. It’s only our years old but these things come with built-in obsolescence, I’m sure. The photo is Vince’s showing a dessert on offer in Thailand. Edit: Sorry, the photo won't load but it's no big loss.
