Rechilled

Nothing visual to report tonight. However, the fridge is back in action.

What the repairman found: The previous owner removed its defrost timer -- a completely vital piece in the refrigeration chain, which the fridge can operate without for about six weeks. Which is how long we've been here.

He'd taken it out and bypassed its wiring, so that the compressor has been running without a defrost cycle this entire time, making it all frost over and freeze up. How slimy of him to pull a trick like that.

Not that we're surprised.

Anyhow, it's fixed and we can focus on other things again.
