Time for a new fridge?

[sal_amanda]

All right, I did think it was a stretch that our fridge would all of a sudden just get cold, but apparently that is actually what happened.  We haven't been able to successfully thaw it or find the correct setting that maybe we had it on or whatever, so John got hold of his mom on her vacation this morning to ask her if she messed with the settings at all.  Turns out she didn't, and furthermore, that when their previous fridge died, this is exactly what it did prior to completely kicking the bucket.  Awesome.  We knew we needed a new fridge sometime soon due to leakage, but we were hoping to hold out until Christmas.  Instead, it appears we will be doing some fridge shopping tonight.  Yay for extra expenses we don't have money for.  Meanwhile, we can't stop our milk from freezing!!!!

At least having everything frozen gives you a day or two more than if everything was spoiling.

But this does not help me with getting Nora her milk when it's all frozen. I think I need to empty the beer out of the college fridge in the basement for the time being.

Ugh. I hate when appliances break. We just had to buy a new washer. We used money we had been saving to buy furniture.

Too bad you don't have more time to shop around. Good luck!

We pretty much know what we want and we're very limited because of size. The cupboards were basically built with a fridge cubby so we're stuck with a width of pretty much less than 30" and not taller than 67". That takes care of a lot of the options. It's also something we've been looking at here and there because we knew we'd be replacing it soon. Home Depot and Lowes kind of suck for installation so we're pretty much going with Sears, where we wound up getting our stove two years ago. Just from shopping online, I think we have a good idea of which one we'd like to get.

...it won't help much, but I think I have a Best Buy Appliance discount somewhere.

I think I have one of those floating around, too, but their selection tends not to be as extensive and because the people who built this house were idiots, we are really limited on what we can get. Thanks for thinking of us, though.
