Fridge on the Fritz

So last night we started to hear a grinding sound from the fridge, which is never a good thing. Robin figured out a way to stop the noise, by turning the fridge completely off then on again, but it happened again every few hours this morning. So I called the landlord's office, and apparently he decided to send his proxies to swap out the fridge for a "new" one (he never gives us new, just recycled from other apartments whose tenants have moved out) rather than just let the technician take a look at the freezer section whence the noise emanated. Finally things were sorted and the tech is coming tomorrow. In the meantime, of course we had to empty the fridge, give it a good clean, sort through all the items to discern what was worth keeping and what needed tossing, so you know, after 8 years the fridge could use a good cleaning anyway. I just wish it hadn't been necessitated by something like this. Robin did most of the work while I did my job stuff, and now we wait...
