The Fridge War that never ends.

So last we met it was battle number four or five. We are on to seven, eight or nine by now. This damn fridge. The very last time, last week, I shut off all water to/from the fridge, and emptied out the lines as best I could, and today we had to thaw it again, to let another 2L of water out the bottom. I only just cleaned off all the exterior intakes from the underneath portion I could reach with a long brush and a vacuum extension hose. But to no avail. At this point I have to wonder if we have a sleep Walker who is dumping pint glasses of water into the fucking thing. I don’t understand how a mostly empty freezer, with no water feed can accumulate nearly 3 Liters of water in its vents every week or so. Where is it all coming from? Is there a holding tank inside the machine I’m not aware off that is leaking, or slowly expressing vapour into the freezer chamber? I don’t get it. I just can’t figure out where all this excess water is coming from, or how a freezer set to 6° is kicking off and freezing over constantly. I will get to the bottom of this at some point. But God Damn. What a son of a bitch! I hate this machine so much right now. All the seals have been cleaned. The latch catches, the vents are never blocked off, the inlets are clean, the air flow path inside the fridge is not blocked. Next step is the $100.00 diagnostic call to the repairman. Or buying a whole new fridge in 2023. Bah! Humbug.
