Next time you get a new fridge, start drinking beer, and I bet it NEVER happens again!! ;) Mine's over 20 years old and full of beer and I've had no problem!! :p I also advise you to buy plastic cutlery in future, they're not quite as dangerous in the wrong hands. ;)

183800 2003-11-26 00:58:00 I can only say,that if Winston007 would only put in an appearance,as apposed to our own 001,these matters I think could be concluded much more expeditiously.;) Thomas (1820)
183801 2003-11-26 06:47:00 Unfortunately W007 is off getting the Tardis back from Telecom.
It was in for a service you know.

Well it needed it. In fact it's all your (collective) fault. You see I filled it up with water the other day to find out it's cubic capacity.
Regrettably I overlooked the small matter of the Tardis occupying a different level of space/time on the inside. Its rather larger than it looks.

So when the Invercargill City Council chap came around to complain about me draining a reservoir I realised the research was getting out of hand. And then this rather worried cow turned up.......

Anyway turns out Tardises are not waterproof on the inside. Daleks - no problem, but water......
And to cap it off the door seal has gone. Or was it a dugong?..... No, no definitely a seal. So Telecom have ordered a new one from Japan.

So GF I have taken care of the excess water for your visit.

Merry Christmas :D

183803 2003-12-22 04:11:00 Well I dont really want to bring this whole thread up again but part 2 has started...I'm now in the process of purchasing my first fridge...as i've got a borrowed one but owners are wanting it back mid-end january so i've got some time...
but since i'm so silly i dont even know what to look for in a fridge/freezer? do i go for frost free? low power usage? size? whats the best? what brand is preferable?
And price limit is $800 but am willing to go over a little if required, but the definate maximum is $1000 nothing more at all...but if you have some fridges that are good to get but over $1000, let me know what they are and i'll consider it as this is a "long term" investment, (yes it is one that i wouldnt touch with a teaspoon :P)

cheers in advance

183804 2003-12-22 06:53:00 If you want reccommendations based on size, you better tell us the dimensions of the area where the fridge will go... and make sure you leave reasonable gaps around the fridge to allow heat to escape.

Low power consumption is good; whereas frost-free isn't an absolute must (unless you hate defrosting your fridge).

183805 2003-12-22 06:56:00 ohh theres 2 meanings to size, one is "litres" of fridge and the other is the area it goes in...that doesnt matter..its litres of fridge as i see some for 200L 300L and so on...

and defrosting the fridge..well i think i would rather have a frostfree to keep my teaspoons out of there...but i dont really mind but if i can get frostfree then its fine with me :-)

183807 2003-12-30 11:10:00 Ah yes Outrider,.....? Did we miss something? Winston001 (3612)
183808 2003-12-30 11:19:00 Chris - a large and popular type of fridge is the Fisher and Paykel C370.
I have owned 3 of these over 20 years. The first one died after 19.5 years use. No complaints.
370 litres capacity which is family sized.
I think almost all fridges today are frost-free.

You do not have to buy new but get a warranty and buy from a reputable
shop you can eyeball if there is a problem. I'd send you the Consumer reports on fridges if I knew how.
