Hello Brave Hearts!
Hope you are enjoying all the changes in weather and ready to wellcome an early spring and then early summers obviously !
Best wishes for for for friends who are already enjoying their mild summers like Australia .
Our weather took U quite fast turn to hot weather though temps were not majorly different still sun seemed to shook his busting heat and scorching rays ruthlessly .
Imagining the upcoming summers is giving me fright even right now , oh hell this year summers seem to BLOW our mind Literally .
Today when i scroll down my previous post i saw the image which i uploaded to post about my fridge incident last week .
But imagine my spontaneous way of writing that i wrote the title and uploaded the image but when it came to speak my heart ......
I wrote mechanically , what my head directed my fingers to write !
How funny that i could not notice the image below due to my hurriedness ,because i was using my smart phone to reply comments .
Anyway Few days back when power was gone for almost 5 hours i was looking for some due jobs that usually wait to be done in free times .
I thought okay power has left since hours so it would be nice to do
" operation clean up Freezer"
When i started i realized that ice melting process was not meeting to my expectations but once i started i decided to not give up and kept my dare up to dig and rediscover my tow water pots sunken in ice piles .
I did it many times and each time it was easy and smooth but first time in winter so had no idea that operation will lead to disaster .
Yes while during digging and removing ice mission may be somehow i hit the surface of freezer
Suddenly bitter smoke burst out and hit right on my face .
It took moments to get what have i done
Yes I just Killed the fridge !
It seemed that that gas did not came out of freezer but my head.
First thought came in my mind that
" Oh fridge is going to blast"
I quickly unplugged it and ran in room front of veranda where fridge is placed .
I was scared and little shaky , in my heart i was calling the God as loudly as if God had ears he would have slap me to shut up.
I peeked fearfully and waited for the blast ,
After exact five minutes when i realized that no blast will happen i slowly came out of room as did not want fridge to hear my footsteps and called Hubby (the other difficult job which i really did not want to do but it was necessary :(
Obviously hubby did not give me round of applause .
But when he asked millions times ( okay third time )
"honey what was the need to clean up the freezer in winters , we never do it in such cold "
I said angrily (little bit of cource)
Don't blame me , blame the power
In short operation clean up freezer cost 5000 rupees ( more than 5oo dollars)
Hubby felt better when mechanic told him that if it would have not happened you fridge was going to be down anyway because it's compressor was about to be vanished.
Stitch to poor freezer looks like this now
Hope i have your sympathy dear friends or you going to join hubby?
who has learnt to hide his anger since many years , and for your kind information it was my very first such COSTLY mistake .
Stay blessed ,stay happy!
blessings to all of you!
You definitely have my sympathy. First it is costly when a major appliance breaks down. Second no one would purposely cause such damage. And third why on earth they make a machine so that it is that easy to break is beyond me. I can understand your husband's frustration at having to replace an expensive item but he should be frustrated at the freezer not you.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Emma!
DeleteI constantly thinking upon same question you raised here
WHY THE HELL SUCH EXPENSIVE MACHINE IS SO EASY TO BREAK?
May be to facilitate the Labour who can fix and earn
Or May be scientists don't have time to ponder over this problem yet
Hubby did not show any anger though but I knew it was not pleasant for him at all
DeleteSorry to hear about the freezer. I am glad to hear that you are OK. I have engaged in similar ice chiseling projects. I have been lucky and avoided mishaps so far. With that, you have convinced me not to chisel ice any more.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Brain!
DeleteI am fine luckily
Oh you sound wise and calm like my husband who mostly prefer to take this job for himself
Oh no! Well, accidents happen, all are safe is the important thing.
ReplyDeleteYes dear Christine
DeleteAccidents happen and make us learn to be more careful next time
God meant for you to get a new refrig.
ReplyDeleteHaha same I said to hubby dear Susan but we are planning to buy new vehicle so hubby dropped the idea until we achieve this one
DeleteOh dear! But then the compressor was going to die anyway. Licky you,werent hurt.
ReplyDeleteThanks to repair man who mentioned this probability to us
DeleteIt was relief to know
When gas hit my face I thought it would leave scars or stain but there was no such harm by the grace of God dear Betty!
Defrosting the freezer is such a hard and ugly job! And every once in awhile, disaster strikes! Oh well, things like this happen -- it all ended up okay!
ReplyDeleteYes thank goodness it all ended fine dear Debra!
DeleteHave to do the same thing regularly to keep it working well.
ReplyDeleteMostly we do this in summer as it is easy then
DeleteBut this was first time I tried in winters and accidentally stabbed the surface
OH NO!! I feel very badly for you, my dear friend! But it is comforting that the repairman felt your compressor wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway. If it failed and you didn't notice for awhile you might have had a bigger loss, from food thawing out and going bad. So . . . maybe it was a blessing in disguise :)
ReplyDeleteYour hubby sounds like mine, very calm and collected :)
I really appreciate your encouraging words dear Jenny !
DeleteOur fridge is almost 15 years old and needed to be repaired for once about 6 years back for gas leakage
Either hubby and me thought it happened for good reason
My husband is always calmer than me (early me actually)
But his respectful and loving attitude make me more sensitive about his feeling because I know he won't express or be loud just to not hurt my heart
This is why I care more for him and try my best to meet his expectations
How old was your fridge? If it was an old one then don't worry! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by my friend
DeleteMy fridge was almost 15 years old and thank God it is repaired and back now
Oh, no! You ABSOLUTELY have my sympathy, Baili. Thankful you were not hurt :)
ReplyDeleteTrue short story: My friend opened her garage overhead door, got into her husband's BRAND NEW truck, and put the truck in reverse. While she was slowly and carefully backing out of the garage, she touched the garage door remote device and the garage door came down onto the hood of the new truck. Her husband was not amused either. So, see? It could be worse :)
And recently, I absentmindedly put regular soap (not the appropriate dishwasher soap) into our dishwashing machine. Soon, there were bubbles everywhere - as if I were living an episode of an old
TV comedy show called "I Love Lucy." Unfortunately, my husband, who has a great sense of humor, did not think particular episode was very funny, but he got over it.
Here's to happy endings.
Haha
Deleteoh dear this is hilarious to read but not so funny indeed
Yet thinking of you having bubbles around made me laugh loud :)
Yes when such things happen first thought comes in mind is
"Oh what will hubby say about it"?
And I think it is very natural
because second most close person is husband and whether he is so calm or expressive we want him to think Good about us!
This is nice that you and your friend have sweet hubby just like (lucky) me lol
It's raining since last night so our electricity is absent since then.
Just started our generator and replying your comment
Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteBut if the compressor was going to die anyway this was a blessing in disguise.
All the best Jan
So true dear Jan!
DeleteBlessing in disguise :)
Things can be replaced. But you cannot :) I'm glad you weren't hurt! xo
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Martha!
DeleteHope all husbands think same lol
First, glad that you were not injured, Baili, and while it was not amusing at the time, I did smile at this retelling. Also, glad your husband was understanding and that the repair person explained the compressor was the culprit. No one likes to pay for a repair of an appliance but at least yours worked well for 15 years.
ReplyDeleteYou have my sympathy indeed. I think things like this happen to everyone at some time or another. I'm just glad it didn't blast, and you didn't get hurt.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! Accidents happen! I'm just happy you weren't hurt! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty scary incident Baili but I'm so thankful you didn't get hurt and it ended well! And no doubt saved you the loss of food if it had gone out when you weren't home!! Definitely a blessing in disguise!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are okay, Baili, and I'm glad that the mechanic made your hubby feel better about the fridge.
ReplyDeleteAccidents happen. Thankfully you are OK and the fridge is now back working order.
