All Hail the Appliance Gods.
It appears they do exist, and heck, they don’t even need a shrine. After going to appliance Valhalla (aka: Home Depot) and choosing a shiny new fridge (which was delivered on Freyja’s Day, oh Happy Friday!) I am basking in their benevolence (aka: 0% interest). Here’s the kicker – a day after moving the malfunctioning Maytag monster that used to be my fridge into the garage, I decided to play a little game of “what if” and plugged it in to see what would happen. I’ll be damned, the obstinate thing decided to work perfectly! So, I’m delighted to have a great new fridge and blissful that my husband won’t electrify himself trying to fix the old one; and while said husband looked at me with some suspicion when I told him the old fridge is “working great now!” he didn’t hesitate to stake his claim – declaring that the old fridge was now officially the “beer fridge” and was to be his sole domain – to remain untouched by non-alcoholic libations.
Whatever dude, the diet cokes and juice boxes are going in there too.

Happened to me, almost exactly. We had a fridge, stopped working, bought a new one, and OF COURSE the old one worked after we got the new one. Now we have 2 fridges in the apartment as my bf refuses to say goodbye to his ‘bachelor’ fridge, but he’s definitely paying the 40 bucks extra in the electricity bill every month. Men and their toys *shakes head*
