We went to Wal Mart yesterday. Bought a small refrigerator for $58, realized when we got it in the truck it wasn't DC it was regular AC but thank goodness we have an inverter. The difference between $58 and $1000 is quite a bit though. One of those regular coolers that plug into the power source don't do well in hot weather or if the truck is turned off. You can see the new refrigerator, it's the white square on the floor in the left corner. You have no idea how COZY it is to have only about 1x2 ft instead of 2x4 ft back here by the bed. Now I have to move the frig to get clothes out etc. We do now have a frig again though.
Guess what else happened when we bought the new frig and got groceries in it? On a lark I had turned the old one back on. It was freezing water by last night. I did fiddle with the thermostat while ago and I think that is it but we fiddled with it for like 4 days last week and that didn't work! So now I'm trying to figure out whether we should find a place to strap the white frig outside the truck and take it home or just try to sell it in the parking lot of a truck stop? Of course if we did do that the old one would immediately quit again. Oh and we have another small frig almost identical to this one @ home, it's not like we needed a small frig! But we weren't home to pick that one up.
You aked what is the black square up above in the middle of the photo, or maybe you don't care but I will tell you? It's the microwave. To warm my coffee up in the morn, I have fried eggs etc. and don't make fun of my shelves, stuff has to be crammed in there or it falls out!
So Murphys Law and all the other sayings and laws are fully in effect and all is well with the world.....
very cozy in there. I wouldn't get rid of the new fridge. As soon as you do, the old expensive fridge will act up again. It's found in the appliance handbook - which only appliances get when they leave the factory. Actually, there's a specialist in all factories - called a Fairie. It's the Fairie's job to tinker with ALL appliances as they leave the shop so they will go out exactly one minute AFTER the warranty expires...and appliances will always work again when there's competition. (They're very competitive, don't ya know?)
ReplyDeleteSo, for the above reasons, I would decidedly NOT git rid of the new little fridge.
Besides, as soon as you sell it to someone else, it'll go out and the buyer will be hinting you down for his money back. LOL!
You are absolutely right Suze. Expensive frig just has one setting also, really really cold, lets try to freeze everything, I'm afraid to change it....maybe I can just fan the door a bit. Ac went out now....not good in S TX on 8/16!!
