A Blonde Moment?

No recipe, just a humbling kitchen experience.

I poured myself a glass of milk with my dinner and it was somewhat warm.   Thinking I had simply bumped the temperature control knob on the fridge, I turned it up and forgot about it.   The next morning, in getting my orange juice, it was still warm and I opened the freezer to find most of the items partially thawed.    I immediately brought items down to the large freezer in the basement and called the repair man. 

Mind you this fridge is only about 5 years old and we've already had to replace a blower.  I am very indignant and will never buy an Amana refrigerator again!

So, the repair man comes out and explains that he really doesn't have a problem with Amana, and perhaps we are just unlucky.   He checks everything and all is o.k.   Before he leaves he checks one last thing.   He removed the front bottom of the fridge and asks if we have cats.   There is so much dog hair down there, the generator got to warm and shut off.   

I have routinly vacumned behind the fridge, but underneath only put the swiffer underthere.  I did not know that the lower panel nicely unsnaps for vacumning.    DUH!

We have three dogs which shed.

Good thing I was using that pound and 1/2 of shrimp for gumbo that very day or I would have had to find a quick use for the thawed out seafood!
