In the back of the freezer atop my Kenmore refridgerator there's a drain hole about the diameter of my pinky finger. If you know how to keep it from periodically plugging with ice (which causes water to back up into the freezer and become ice, with excess water spilling down into the refridgerator) please let me know. It's happened twice this calendar year. I've even tried attaching a Cu wire around the heating colis and snaking it into the drain. #Refridgerator #Kenmore #Water #Drain

Good morning. 🍄🍄🍄

Do you ever open the refrigerator door and just stand there staring, having forgotten what you wanted in the first place? I wonder if it’s the same phenomenon as the doorway effect. I did that yesterday—stood there for several seconds trying to remember why I was there. It was like that scene from the 1982 version of Poltergeist where one of the characters is drawn to the eerie, glowing refrigerator light. But then I remembered, grabbed what I wanted, and went back to my food-related tasks.

Also most fridge/freezer combos that fit these requirements are 84” tall and our ceilings are only 91” tall and the Miele sales rep said we couldn’t have a 84” tall fridge as a result because of how far you’d have to tip it to get it thru the door and installed …? Something about the compressor couldn’t tip that far or something. Anyone know if that’s true across the board?

Have fun using their embedded Wi-Fi to talk to each other. (-:

@Shepherdess Don't feel too bad, Shepherdess: I found out last week that my 19-year-old #refridgerator has pullout sliding shelves. 🥥

🥶 Cold weather vibes.

The brand-new #refridgerator has been making some occasional loud “compressor” noises (often late at night which wakes everyone up, and in short bursts so it was hard to even know where it was coming from).

Repair guy showed up at 7:45am today (😳) to fix it and …turns out the water pump was turned on but not hooked up to a water source. On/off switch is in the freezer, tucked way up/under so if you don’t know where to feel, the only way to check is nearly lay down on the floor. Fun!

Track Those Leftovers With This Little Timer

We've all at some point in our lives opened the fridge door and immediately wished we hadn't. A miasma of stench envelops us as we discover that last Saturday's leftovers have been forgotten, and have gone off. If only we had some way to keep track of such things, to avoid such a stench-laden moment. Step forward [ThinkLearnDo], with a little timer designed for exactly that purpose.

The operation is simple enough, press the button and place the unit on top of the container with the leftovers in it. If you haven't eaten the leftovers within a week, the LED will start blinking. The blink is a subtle reminder to deal with the old food before it becomes a problem.

Onboard is a Holtek HT68F001 microcontroller with a coin cell for power, not much else is needed. The Holtek is an unusual choice, one of several brands of super-inexpensive Chinese microcontrollers we see less commonly than ATmegas and STM32s. This is exactly the place where such a minimal computer fits perfectly: a way to add a little bit of smarts to a very cheap item with minimal strain on the BoM.

If these chips interest you, a while back we covered a run-down of the different families including the Holtek and the famous 3-cent Padauk chips.
