Buying a brand-new fridge would cost us about $200, so we decided to rent one instead. Through a friend we got one that was $7.50 a month with a $25 deposit. It was REALLY gross and ant-infested. We (meaning mostly Jerry) washed it with bleach and I sprayed for ants with window cleaner. We got ant spray and after several days, the fridge was decent (and I use this word loosely) and the ants were gone. Hooray, right?
Wrong. It stopped cooling after a few days. We took everything out and transferred all our stuff to the office fridge. So our friend found another "source" and we got another fridge. This one seemed quite promising. It was a better size than the one we previously had, there were no bugs and it was kinda clean. A weird thing was this red button that Jerry found inside near the thermostat. A sticker next to it said something like, "You need to press this button once a day." So, Jerry asked the guy what it meant and he basically said, "You just need to press it every day or the fridge will flood." Well, we figured we could remember to do that, so Hooray, right?
Wrong. Tonight, we discovered that the motor had tripped the breaker and so the fridge was not working and the breaker thing caused ALL of the outlets in our room to stop working. Again, I emptied the fridge of all our stuff. Someone is supposed to come tomorrow. Tune in next time...
