My Refrigerator died and I need advice
Well, today our second hand fridge quit on us and I’m gutted. Funds are tight at the moment, and we’re planning on moving in September. This is the last thing we needed to happen. Right now, we have partially iced up mini fridge available to us and a deep freeze. I really don’t want to buy a new fridge right now. There isn’t a second hand fridge available in the area at our budget the moment. I saw one for $750 and another for 1,600. Any tips on how I can make this work through summer?
Other relevant information:
There are two people living here.
I’m celiac and I need to cook like 99% of my meals.
I’m anemic, and vitamin b12 deficient
We have a small(and I mean small) emergency fund, but is this an emergency?
Also, we have property tax in July for approximately $1,700.
Any help is more than welcome.
Edit to add:
“ I saw one for $750 and another for 1,600.“
Was referring to facebook marketplace regarding functional fridges.
I haven’t heard the compressor kick in, so that might be the issue.
We originally got this fridge for $150, and it’s quite old. I’m really not sure if parts would even be available, or how expensive. Regardless, we’ll have a look at it. The thought of putting more money into such an old fridge makes me feel anxious because who know if something else will go wrong. Also I can grantee that whoever buys our home will not want that fridge. It’s an eye sore.
Our mini fridge is working for now. I think I might try the ice box trick suggested by lovely commenters. That way I can defrost the mini fridge.
The cheapest fridge I could find in stores around here was for $650. I’m going to keep looking.
Another edit to add:
What was wrong with the fridge?
The fridge was warm and the items in the freezer were melting. There was nothing leaking.
The fridge might have started working again?
The freezer is freezing and the fridge feels cool. We’re getting a thermometer to check it.
It used to make a sound when the compressor kicked in but it’s no longer doing that which is suspicious.
At the moment we’re just living out of the mini fridge.
