Funny thing, when I moved in, my last apartment had a refrigerator that was made in Yugoslavia. It died.

RIP to the Minsk fridge my granny used until 2022. Built end of 70s, that thing was continuously in use for 50 years.
she probably just wants you to stop racking up the electric bill
Meanwhile the fridge using two cool lasers for cooling since the end of ww1
LG fridges sure do.

Except LG and Samsung fridges or the ones that use the linear compressors.
We have a chest freeze from 1943 still running in my parents basement...

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh...
Lol I had to look up the year that happened because yeah, my fridge is roughly that old. It was the fridge we got when I was a kid and now I have it at my house. I'm planning on it working until I'm dead.
Is this from Warhammer?
Looks inspired by it, but the emperor only has 1 mechanical eye lighting up.
If it's not it's stolen from it.
Every time the power goes out.....!
I never believed in power outages until I came face to face with one
A thousand refrigerator psychers must be sacrificed so the frig emperor can live on in perpetual conflict with the gods of chaos: Frigidaire, whirlpool, Samsung and Slaanesh!
We've had a GE fridge that's probably older than about 10 years. But you know, it's complicated enough that it feels like it's made to fail at some point.
Well, stuff stopped cooling but all the lights were on and everything else worked. It was really weird. We were thinking it might be a dead compressor or something. Crap, do we need a new fridge?
Nope! What basically amounts to a glorified computer fan with a fancier proprietary plug does all the work of distributing that cold air through the rest of the unit.
The proprietary plug is totally so they can sell it for $45, of course. Lol anyway, works like new!
Also get a dust mask and vacuum + blow out the back of your refrigerators, people. They get grooooss!!!
Ya. That black server fan in the frig is very common for the model of frig..also the little white resistance sensor on the coil tends to fall off of the tube sometimes causing it to defrost poorly. I like to swap them out when I'm doing the fan as a prophylactic.
The reason they use that fan is because it's super quiet and voltage can be regulated to it for different spin speeds which I turn is supposed to save energy.
The issue with the fan in and of itself is that it's inherently an aftermarket fan produced by an aftermarket manufacturer for GE. It's just junk.
