Our fridge just died. (And tried to take all of us with it.)
Advertisements [?]
We came home tonight after a day at work and then an evening spent listening to some incredible Blues guitar by at the Savannah Jazz Festival.

Opened the door....whew!!!!!

:wtf:

:puke:

:scared:

Chemically, strong abrasive odor was pervasive.

We searched and sniffed around.

I was standing by the fridge when I heard a brief buzz/hiss.

Then I saw a cloud.

Then the stench suddenly got more over powering.

Especially since I had my face down by the crack between the fridge and the wall.

The fridge got unplugged and then keel-hauled into the garage. We figured maybe we could get another day or two out of it. But there was no way to live with that smell.

Plugging into the garage blew the master breaker.

So we are in search of a fridge.

We'll have to go to one of the ripoff rental places at least at first.

Or maybe I'll find a miracle on craigslist. :D

Oh and I think I've since found out that Freon isn't really toxic to humans.

If that's even what it was.

It was nasty.

I can tell you that.
