Although thankfully, not "water supply to the icemaker disconnected and is slowly leaking into the storage room causing water damage to drywall (more like wetwall! amirite?) and sundry other items". Whew--been there, done that. (Anyone ever have that happen? Right up there with epic water heater fail and busted washer hose.) Nope. Just keeps icing up--and then stops cooling altogether. Fixed once--don't believe in paying for a repair on an eleven-yr old appliance two times. Cheaper *not* to keep her, you could say.
So this is my silver lining meditation, where I decide losing the dead fridge is for the best:
1) Oh boy, an opportunity to finally clean it out!
2) It's not warm outside. So my food might just survive out in the yard.
3) Buying a new appliance is like making a new friend.
4) My new one's gonna have a freezer on the bottom, so the heavy, rock solid bits of frozen meat I had stacked in the side-by-side will no longer fall out at me.
5) My hubby was off work so he could take care of arranging for the "buying new fridge"/"old fridge funeral."
6) I got to eat Chinese tonight instead of leftovers.
7) The new one doesn't have an icemaker. I can just go back to the simple hassle of being too lazy to fill the trays, without awaiting the return of the day when my kitchen floor just feels a little--wet.
Does anyone else go looking for the "upside" or silver lining when you have something go wrong?
