We have a chest freeze from 1943 still running in my parents basement...
Gotta catch em all!
But how did THEY get chest freezer in 1943?
Jokingly.
We've had a GE fridge that's probably older than about 10 years. But you know, it's complicated enough that it feels like it's made to fail at some point.
Well, stuff stopped cooling but all the lights were on and everything else worked. It was really weird. We were thinking it might be a dead compressor or something. Crap, do we need a new fridge?
Nope! What basically amounts to a glorified computer fan with a fancier proprietary plug does all the work of distributing that cold air through the rest of the unit.
The proprietary plug is totally so they can sell it for $45, of course. Lol anyway, works like new!
Also get a dust mask and vacuum + blow out the back of your refrigerators, people. They get grooooss!!!

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh...
RIP to the Minsk fridge my granny used until 2022. Built end of 70s, that thing was continuously in use for 50 years.
My grandfather has a fridge that has been in operation since the late 70's. (It's a leopard brand fridge, the company no longer exists)
Except LG and Samsung fridges or the ones that use the linear compressors.
LG fridges sure do.

Every time the power goes out.....!
I never believed in power outages until I came face to face with one
Is this from Warhammer?
Looks inspired by it, but the emperor only has 1 mechanical eye lighting up.
If it's not it's stolen from it.
Lol I had to look up the year that happened because yeah, my fridge is roughly that old. It was the fridge we got when I was a kid and now I have it at my house. I'm planning on it working until I'm dead.
