OT - Question about Kitchen Appliance
I know this may be an odd question for this newsgroup, but I really don't know
where else to turn. I MIGHT (emphasis on the might) have a problem with the refrigerator in my apartment, but I am unfortunately rather lacking in technical skills, so I really don't know, and given that it's the weekend, finding help around here from management would not be easy. Earlier this evening I heard a dripping sound coming from the back of the refrigerator, like drops of water hitting a metallic pan. The pace of the dripping lessened fairly quickly and then stopped. In ten years of living here, I have NEVER heard the refrigerator do this, but I suppose it could've just been getting rid of excess moisture or condensation or something. But I really don't know. I looked behind the refrigerator with a flashlight. No sign of water on the floor. The freezer and refrigerator are still cold. Today was not especially hot (by Tucson Arizona standards) but it WAS humid. I don't know if it's dripped since this initial incident. And yes, I do have a fair amount of perishable food in both the fridge and freezer, so shutting it off isn't the ideal option (Nor am I even sure how to do that or if it might just make matters worse). But is this even anything I need to worry about? E-mail responses especially appreciated. Thank you for putting up with my incompetence. |

Thank you for putting up with my incompetence. yeah, it's common, mine does it all the time in summer. sometimes it's the drip tray filling up - other times it's the refrigerant inside moving around. either way it's no problem. kylie -- www.rdj.com.au |
