The Death, and Replacement of the Refrigerator

As some of you may have read in a previous post, I was lucky enough to find a refrigerator on freecycle that was free, and all I had to do was lug it home from Valrico.

Well in a freak storm, the fridge must have taken a power strike or something, well it quit working :( not sure why it just Died.

We called around to find a refrigerator repairman, and come to find out that those maytag guys are a myth they do not exist. We were referred to Sears to get the refrigerator repaired and they would not even come out to us without paying a 45.00 estimate fee, on top of whatever the cost would be to fix the fridge.

So we called around, and found a used fridge for 60 bucks, with a 6 month warranty.

The new/used fridge is now where the old one is, and the beer is back down to lagering temperatures. Only a couple more weeks till bottling.

Stay Tuned
