Hot tip for fast defrosting. TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY. Then put a bowl of steaming hot water in your empty freezer. Unloosen the ice carefully with a PLASTIC utensil as it defrosts and chuck it into the sink. Should be done in 10 mn.

Pour gasoline in the hole until filled then clog up with chewing gum. Before pressing in gum, ensure you have the lines filled by inspecting it. It may be too dark to see down the tube. Use a naked flame close to the hole like a cigarette lighter on candle and lean right in and inspect..
Water quenches the thirst, alcohol releases the truth.

Advice for next time.
Turn fridge off.
Open fridge door [ s ]
Place a fan in front of the fridge and blow air inside the fridge . Will do the job in no time.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Lol. I did this to my mates fridge in a sharehouse 18 years ago. Had to buy him a new fridge. Never made that mistake again.

Haha, thanks, Dr AM. You assume I can do all those things. Heating water? I bought a bunch of Macaroni and Cheese boxes a while ago, and haven't touched them, as I realized it requires milk, butter and hot water to get them going. A shame, as the pic on the box looks delicious.Anchor Moy wrote:Hot tip for fast defrosting. TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY. Then put a bowl of steaming hot water in your empty freezer.

Yes, I turned it off.
Jesus, I see things could have been much worse.Artful Dodger wrote:Pour gasoline in the hole until filled then clog up with chewing gum.

Haha, that's exactly what I did (plus whack it with a knife).Duncan wrote:Advice for next time.

UPDATE: Since I didn't fancy dropping $250 for a new one, and running around town looking for someone to make a house call didn't sound like fun either, I called my company and told them what an idiot I am (they already knew that), and they said they'd take care of it all for me.
Came home today and the damn thing was gone, and I've been told it will be back and hopefully working by the time I'm home after work tomorrow.
I guess it's microwaved eggs and warm Vimto for breakfast tomorrow.

Have you microwaved eggs before?
They are most delicious if you just put them on plate without cracking them open first. Gets perfect when microwaved full power around 5 minutes.
But you most not crack them open, otherwise will be very rubbery texture and nobody likes that.

Yep and the resulting "explosion" will take you another half hour to clean the microwave...........................
