The Fridge Isn't Fridging

It's the weekend, meaning the fridge is on the fritz and no longer really fridging.

Noticed last night that the milk I had with my Pop Tarts was a little on the warm side, but we'd also just returned from a massive shopping trip and had crammed a lot of food into the fridge, so I figured it needed some time to recombobulate.

But this morning, same problem.

I vacuumed the condenser in the hopes that fixes the problem, but hours after that chore got done, this is what we're looking at:


It's not the most scientific method, using a meat thermometer wedged between two blocks of cheese, but it's all I've got at the moment. I'll keep an eye on things and see how things look later on, and then in the morning.

I've got a cooler and a jug of water in the freezer as a backup.

Odd thing: The freezer on the fridge is doing just fine, it's just the refrigerator compartment that's not fridging correctly.

Toddling Along


I apologize for the swears in this song. But when Mitch Benn penned it at the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis and I heard it on the BBC, it really stuck with me.

Hoping its message doesn't become more pertinent to us as 2023 goes on.
