Dem Coils, Dem Coils, Dem Fridge Coils

Doug has the coolest little gadget that shoots a laser at any surface and displays that surface's temperature. This can come in very handy to, say, check if the thermostat is working. Or if the fridge is staying at temp.

Let's just say, the fridge wasn't working quite so well this week. So Doug decided to pull it out (Argh! Didn't we learn to leave it where it is Last Time we pulled it out?!?) to vacuum the coils.

A few screws later, we could see them...they really weren't that dirty. Neither was the floor underneath the fridge, interestingly enough.


But Doug vacuumed them anyway, and made Bonnie sweep underneath the fridge for good measure.


It helped a little bit. Unfortunately, this may mean that a new fridge is in our future. Maybe that should be "fortunately" since I really don't like side-by-side refrigerators, which is what we currently have. The unfortunate part is the money we have to shell out to get it done, right? And...the notion that Doug will be using that little gadget to obsessively measure the fridge's temperature from now until it really dies. An obsession really shouldn't ever have something to do with a refrigerator, should it? Just the food inside!

  1. The coils themselves can be done with a just a rattail comb (or even your fingers) and your favorite styling pudding or pomade. You can wear your coils and subsequent coil-out for a few days to a week at a time. Even better, a coil out looks great on many hair lengths, whether you’re rocking a TWA or longer curls. So let’s get started! rogowski coils
