Fridge Freezers is bastards

[Biggles]

Six months ago my fridge freezer died after 10 years faithful service. It expired suddenly and did so obviously, so I was able to transfer my frozen delights to a friend's freezer while I obtained a replacement. I replaced my old Zanussi with a fancy frost free Hotpoint and thought Hey Ho another 10 years before I cross this bridge again. Now six months later the sneaky bastard has died whilst maintaining the pretence of working. I opened my freezer to find softened mush. That was last weekend - I phoned Hotpoint who said they would rush somebody out in a week or so. They suggested I keep my unfrozen items as I might want to claim. I had a look in the freezer tonight and found I was fermenting some kind of garden pea/oven chip/sweetcorn alcoholic brew. I photographed same and then binned it all :sick:

A bit of a bugger all in all :dry:

[Squeamous]

Eating them before the repair man arrives

I feel a bit queasy to be honest.

[Snee]

Yeah, I'm never telling her any secrets.

[Squeamous]

Ooops....didn't know it was a secret. I meant of course the heads of broccoli :unsure:.

[Biggles]

Yes vegetables - I said dismembered vegetables.

Sheesh! :dry:

[Snee]

It's too late.

I'm on to you.

[Squeamous]

Quick Biggles.....and make room in the freezer....

[Biggles]

Quick Biggles.....and make room in the freezer....

:fear:

my freezer is fuxorised!

[CrabGirl]

I understand your pain.

I broke ours being thick and bought one from here http://www.clearance-comet.co.uk which looked amazing and was a really good bargain. When it arrived it was so loud it sounded like a jet plane taking off, and so big it took up half my little kitchen. Eventually we sent it back and had to get two little separates. The whole debarcle took fecking months. It suxored.

Do try that website though. Just do more research on the things you are bidding on than I did.

[Something Else]

That site is quite good. But be warned. HD Ready means not really HD at all. ;)

[CrabGirl]

Why does he need an HD freezer"?

[Something Else]

You don't have a HD freezer. :O

[Biggles]

As it is only six months old there will be another head broccoli in the freezer if it is not fixed or replaced :angry:

[Squeamous]

Has anyone else accidentally chiselled a hole in their freezer while trying to defrost it in a hurry? That's how I lost my last one :(.

[Alien5]

i did that about a month ago - got a new fridge freezer now so it was worth it. :happy:

[Barbarossa]

It makes me laugh sometimes seeing fridges and freezers that made by hotpoint :happy:


Errrm, yes. Carry on then. :mellow:

Actually, my hotpoint freezer is a load of shit also, it still works OK after 5 years, but it needs defrosting every month. :emo:

[Alien5]

my one says its self-defrosting but i don't believe that.

[Barbarossa]

Yeah, biggles's said it was self-defrosting also :glag:

[Biggles]

Yeah, biggles's said it was self-defrosting also :glag:

:snooty:

Mine is frost free....which come to think of it is pretty spot on


:ermm:

Yes. That's exactly how I broke the last one. That hiss as all the gas escapes is a truly horrible noise.

[brotherdoobie]

I have a friend. He's from Jersey. His name is Glen. He can get stuff cheap.
Do you need a new fridge Les?


-bd :shifty:

Nah, I never use a chisel, I just go at it with a hammer :sly:

[Alien5]

remember kids: it's the hammer and blunt chisel.

not the sharp one, i repeat not the sharp chisel.

Win. :drool:

[JPaul]

I believe cook has one of those freezer chaps, keeps it beside the walk in larder I'm given to understand. That's in the West Wing obviously.

[Biggles]

Took day off work to wait for the repairman - he has still not arrived :frusty:

Waiting in for people to deliver or fix something is one of my pet hates.

I agree. However, a day off is always nice.

I want to set up business as a professional "waiter". Waiting for repairmen to turn up, waiting in line at the post-office or phoning all those people no one wants to call because they'd be on hold for a million years. I think it'd go down a treat.

I think you have a win on your hands.

[Something Else]

You could take a course in speed-waiting. To save time, like.

Epic Win - although a bitch of a job :blink:

The device is now fixed. It was the electronic circuit board thing (isn't it always :dry: )

And you just sit there, disbelief etched all over your noxious fume-covered face, thinking 'I really should get up and open the window, but I'm so stupid I don't think I can move'.

:(

[CrabGirl]

Yeh even stupider, after I took a faceful of CFCs I thought I'd plug up the hole with super-glue. After all it was only a leetle hole and not all the gas would have escaped yet would it? I firstly stuck myself to the fridge, then I stuck myself to the super-glue, and then I stuck myself to my mobile phone.

Gahhhh.

[Squeamous]

:lol:

You're stoopid :P

[Alien5]

girl-fight :w00t:

[CrabGirl]

Nope sorry. No fight. She's right. In the instance stated, I was indeed, exceptionally dim.

[Biggles]

Prolly the CFCs addling your brain.

Explosives are safer than using chisels (in moderation obviousment)

[Squeamous]

girl-fight :w00t:

I beg your pardon! We're both civilised wimmin. And anyway there's no jelly or mud around :snooty:.

[lynx]

I can soon get some. :naughty:

[Squeamous]

Raspberry please :D

[lynx]

Damn, she called my bluff.

Where can I get raspberry mud at this time of night. :unsure:
