Re: EGADS! FRIDAY NIGHT AND THE BEER\'S NOT COLD!!

I made a serious mistake while reading the instructions on the beer cooler. I laughed, too much, and my wife wanted to know what tickled me so much. Mistake 2, I told her. I'm now forbidden to build a jet engined beer cooler. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 Where do you find this stuff????? 

That link was sent to me a few years ago -- I wasn't sure it would still be active. I don't know who found it first, but it circulated among propane dealers. There was another one about a university professor who staged an annual bbq grill lighting with liquid oxygen, but that was taken down because his university threatened him...

AHH HAA! A Clue!

Side by side model, stuff still frozen in the freezer side bottom but thawing up top. Sounds like a circulation problem.

Unloaded everything, removed the access cover from the back of the freezer to expose the coils. A piece of ice had somehow gotten behind the cover and blocked the internal circulation fan. The coils had subsequently frozen to a solid brick.

Maybe the defrost switch not working, don't know. Thawed out, cleaned out, got my fingers crossed. So far so good.

Does that mean your not sending the Beer up here to get it cold?

Hey Egon, I sure appreciate the offer, however I was able to take immediate corrective action with a cooler and ice to save the brew.

The bride's groceries didn't fair as well though /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

A man's got to have his priorities..........
