Sunday Confessional

Heather says:

I suppose we could call this the Doh! Episode or perhaps it’d best be filed under the “We’re Not Smart Enough to Own Appliances.” Last Sunday dragging ourselves home after a day spent as manual labor, my husband and I were dismayed to find the fridge door slightly ajar. I accused him of not shutting it tightly before we left, he apologized, but the fridge kept running.

And running.

And running.

We wiped and checked the seals, thinking perhaps the gasket was shot. Monday, I listened as the fridge rarely cycled off and the door opened if anyone so much as walked by. I hesitated to call a repairman as I would not be home much of the week.

The next day the fridge worked perfectly. The seal was tight and the motor shut off as it should. Later, I learned that my husband had simply closed the crisper drawer. Can you imagine the look on the repairman’s face? “Hey lady, try shutting the drawers once in a while. That’ll be $75 dollars.”
