Came home today. Discovered that something was causing a short. Half a frustrating hour later, the fridge was identified as the culprit.

My house has the most brain-dead electrical setup. Most power sockets are on 1 circuit. There is a mix of what I’ll call “volatile” devices such as toaster, jug, microwave as well as “non-volatile” eg: computers, lamps, etc, etc . all together! In an ideal world, the separate volatilities would be separatate. I suppose a kludge would be to put surge protectors in front of the volatile stuff. Hmmm…

May the 20 year old fridge RIP.
