Weekend: good and bad

[rich_jacko]

Good thing: Went to the park yesterday for lunch for Ed's birthday picnic. This turned into sitting in the park reading in the afternoon, which turned into running around the playground with the Goblin and the Bug in the evening :o)

Bad thing: My fridge/freezer is playing up. Normally it keeps the fridge at about +5C and the freezer at about -20C. At the moment it only switches itself on when the fridge is about +20C and the freezer is +3C, cools them both down about 8C, then switches itself off again. I can't tell whether it's just struggling in the heat or is actually broken. Any ideas?

sounds like it's borked. :-(
could be thermostat
could have lost some of the gas
compressor could be playing up
sorry off it is :-(

^ What Longrat said. It's broken.

Also, modern fridges don't always switch themselves on and off when you'd expect them to, because frost-free ones do a daily defrosting cycle.

It's buggered. And why do they always do it in hot weather ?

because they have to work harder in hot weather, it like the boiler always breaking down in winter
