When my computer or phone goes “KAPOW” I buy a new one. Same with the fridge and lawnmower. Stop being so dramatic.
Yeah...I dont get this KAPOW mentality either. Been playing with PC’s since 1990 and only seen one harddrive in 1991 deteriorate. So i replaced it before it died. BTE..I caught it by running a Defrag program to spot the bad blocks. Do that every month and other standard disc maintenance and you’ll be fine.
**The deteriorating hard drive was a Maxtor 250MB..a monster for 1991.
The Dirty Ticking Time Bomb of the appliance industry is About to Come Out!
The Refrigerator Manufacturers all know it. The compressor producers have all known it. But for decades the Dirty Ticking Time Bomb of Food Cooling is about to come out.
It does not matter whether you have a Kenmore, Frost King, Frigidaire or even a Whirlpool, the Ticking Time Bomb is in your kitchen and you probably never knew it.
It is under the heading of SPACE. Specifically when your refrigerator runs out of it.
And a couple of areas on your shelves. If a shelf or drawer is full, typically it’s all over for the food item that will not fit. KAPOW!!
Your food item is DEAD AND GONE. Your leftover subway sub from lunch is Kaput. The half container of 2% cottage cheese is ROTTEN and not recoverable.
In a Nutshell, the Time Bomb is WHEN, NOT IF, YOU RUN OUT OF “SPACE” and the next SHELF IS CRITICAL. KABOOM!!
It does not matter what type of refrigerator it is. Whether it is a small dorm fridge, a side by side fridge, or even the new French Door models. THE TICKING TIME BOMB IS THERE.
For when the shelves are full, God only knows what will happen.
And what the industry is praying for, is that you keep buying the new stuff so that the old stuff, which is filling up, is gone in time before the TIME BOMBS start Going Off.
BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS:
Much of the appliance industry has standardized the computer/television screen on the door models so that the user can know before hand that the problem is approaching.
And the users are getting ready to be able to watch out for the “shelves and drawers are full” Time Bombs.
For instance, a Maytag major update U812, scheduled for the October/November 2029 time frame. Has a feature which can report the “Territory” left on a middle shelf. And I’m guessing they are referring to, is the Space left on the Drawer.
From there, it is only one step, to give a warning message “2% area left on C-enter shelf:” or something like that.
Owners, in general, have been so good that few have experienced THE BOMB. And a Few folks have used CLEANING OUT on their system volumes to protect themselves.
But this has been a silent killer, nobody wants to talk about. But is finally being addressed … by me … here … you’re welcome.
