The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) II

happy saturday everyone.

got up this am had to clean my fridge's coils as it was having a hard time cooling. i took the front finisher off as usual and took a look inside (this is a new fridge i got in the summer.. and now 6th month, this is the first time looking inside this one). wtf to maytag, there's like 8 layer of coils behind each other and i can only reach the front one with my vac.

knowing my wife recently went shopping for us, i couldn't let the food just spoil... so i put all the dishes away in the kitchen, went into my garage, pulled my shopvac, and in BLOWER mode

shot it to hell.

yah, it was snowing in the kitchen but everything is clean.

and the pos fridge is finally starting to cool again after about 5hrs. i guess the rule of thumb is before you buy, check how accessible the coils are under and behind the unit. if i wouldve known this, i would've bought a different brand.

Wow! I can't believe that you're already having a hard time with a refrig that's as new as it is.
