| Fixing the fridge | |
|
Normally I’d call a professional repairperson to fix a major appliance. It’s the prudent thing to do.

I sort of got used to the blemish and forgot that it even existed. Then the problem grew. Water trickled out of the freezer compartment down into the fridge with increasing frequency. I placed a cup under the leak and went about my business. Remember, ignoring is bliss. This wasn’t a perfect solution.
