primitive loses cool in refrigerator

Man, primitives must be slobs, leaving their homes in disorder and squalor like this.

This reminds me of the maharani primitive, the "Lioness Pryanka" primitive, who mops her kitchen floor only when company's coming.  The maharani primitive alleges she loves her cat, but I don't think one loves a pet much if the poor animal has to walk on a dirty smeared sticky linoleum floor with all sorts of germs that get caught up in the paws.

Anyway.

Need quick advice on fridge...I noticed the ice cream wasn't very frozen the other night but sort of forgot about it.

Last eve I realized what even with the temp turned to the lowest, stuff was not really frozen hard. It's about 10 years old and with the holiday weekend coming up I thought I'd better just jump on getting a new one before the weekend.

I put a few blocks of ice in the fridge and freezer, still cool inside. I just pulled it away from the wall to clean it up and when I bumped the fan with the vacuum...the fan started going.

Could that be all that was wrong? Could the fan have been blocked by something I dislodged with the vacuum? If you can help...please do!

1. Yes and you can unplug yer refer and take the vac attachment and clean all the dust and dirt away from the fan motar and blade. Do you see build up on those blades ?

2. there was a lot..I probably had not vacuumed the fridge in a year..the fan's been running for about 3 hours now and things are definitely cooler inside the fridge. I guess I learned a lesson today! Is that dust build up what causes the fan to stop circulating? I canceled my delivery for tomorrow so hopefully it's going to keep working. Thanks for answering.

Didn't she get tombstoned in the DUmp's recent Fag War?

not as far as I know. The Lioness is the only primitive who is willing to give Rising Phoenix the time of day, So the recent bannings of the remaining Gay Police seems to have been a small victory for the both of them.

I'd ask if the priimitives know what spring and fall cleaning is but we know the answer.

Chances are she had 10 years worth of filth packed up in the back of the fridge! Wow, DUmbass! Ya think maybe the coils and the fan had so much lint in them they couldn't cool your shit?

Dustballs, even a pretty large layer of them, really won't stop the fan motor, it takes something that physically stops it from turning (brushless AC fan motors have a starting torque so low that it takes very little to prevent them from starting, but it still has to be something that physically stops them from taking the initial twitch of movement.  The motor starting circuitry can fail (and IMHO always does, sooner or later) or less commonly the switching circuit that tells the motor to come on can fail, but both are issues which are not nomally related to how clean the fan blades are kept.  A fan that isn't running but starts when you nudge the blade is a sign of a motor failing electrically, not mechanically.  Extreme dirt could lead to mechanical failure but it's extremely rare, AC motors are really a marvel of elegant engineering.

BTW likesmountains 52, just because the meat in the freezer "wasn't very frozen" doesn't mean it went bad.  You need to eat all of it, and invite your primitive comrades over to enjoy it.

Vacuum the coils and fans--whoda thunk it?

Now if their computers would simply overheat.

That reminds me, the dog is just reaching the end of her month long, twice a year shedding... Need to vacuum the fridge, freezer, and check the vent holes on the computer.

I used to admin a unix server that was in a very dusty environment.. under a desk in a carpeted office that was in the middle of a redwood forest. Not long after I took over the machine, I had to shut it off for a couple of hours. When I turned it back on, it would only run for about five minutes before it would crash hard. Having learned long before to check the obvious first, I popped open the cover. Sure enough, all the vents were practically blocked, the case was full of dust mice, and one of the cpu fans was not turning at all. Vacuumed out all the dust, popped off the heat sinks from the cpus, took them outside, and blew into them. A huge mushroom cloud of dust resulted. After I cleaned it all up and buttoned it back together, the thing ran just fine.
