When I bought this house, it had three refrigerators (one in the back house). All varying degrees of old, all cheap, but all working. I unplugged all but one, since it's just me and the dogs/cat. The one I was using died today. So, I plugged in the other one in the front house...also now seemingly dead. No sound and not getting cooler. So, now I've got to hope the one in the back house isn't also dead and figure out how to move it to the front. And, quickly, since all my food is thawing.

Past me has one again fucked me over, because the fridge in the back is completely surrounded by junk. I've been using the back house for storage.

lol. The previous owner had one of these monstrosities on the fridge plug for reasons I can't fathom (the house is wired with three-prong grounded outlets everywhere). It was ancient and melted. I removed that adapter (non-trivial, as it was melted/corroded on) and the fridge fired right up. I mean, the compressor started, it didn't ignite.
