And the Adventure Continues . . .

Tuesday night we opened our freezer to get some ice cream to go with our dessert (a chocolate chip skillet cookie.) The ice cream was the consistency of yogurt, very soft and mushy. I checked the temperature of the freezer and fridge. The freezer was at 20°F (it’s supposed to be at 0°F) and the fridge was at 45°F (it’s supposed to be at 37°F.) We thought perhaps the door had been left open before we left for worship dance class. Dad instructed us not to open the doors and see if it cooled down.

 

By midnight the freezer temperature was in the 30’s and the fridge was up to 50°F. Clearly there was something wrong. Mom and Dad got up around 1:00 a.m. and took all of our freezer food to our other freezer in the basement. Unfortunately nothing could be done with the fridge food.

 

In the morning we discovered a puddle under it, because all the ice in the freezer was melting. Since all the food in the fridge had been sitting at warm temperatures for so long, we didn’t think it was safe to eat anymore. So we went out for breakfast at Bob Evans.

A repairman came to take a look at the fridge. The condenser fan motor is not working properly and has to be replaced. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the necessary part and had to order it. Hopefully it will come in Thursday or Friday morning and he can come back on Friday afternoon to fix it. Meanwhile, I’m not exactly sure what we’ll be eating for the next few days, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out!
