Last night at around midnight our freezer decided to go kaput.
Full of food. 2½ years old on a 2-year warranty. Liebherr.
I doubt I’ll have time to be around much until I get it sorted. Some posts are scheduled. Not many.

Bother! Sounds like our stove. It was on a 5 year warranty and crashed after 5 years and 3 months.

Ours conked last year. Only about £60 worth of food in it. Very honestly, I only claimed for what was there. Home insurance company didn’t even want a photo because we hadn’t claimed for 10 years. Refunded within a week. I was very impressed until they tried to put up our premium by £100 for making a claim! I changed companies! 😂

I haven’t checked the food but I assume we will be covered. It’s M&S insurance that we’ve had for 13 mths so if the food is spoiled I would assume we are covered.
But for the moment I am trying a factory reset of the freezer. Trouble is, none of this is instant. It’s, like, power off, wait 40 mins, power on… It’ll be lunchtime before I know whether it is buggered or whether we just needed to reset it.

Looks like the reset worked and the food is still frozen. Fingers crossed.

Oh yes, we used to go to a little bistro in Romsey and fish finger sarnies were their specialty.

I make a sardine sarnie very similar to that at home using sardines in tomato sauce (and sliced tomato, onion, and mayo). I’ve put this place on my Google Want To Go list, once my back is better and spring arrives.

It was always an excellent deli with a sit down area built on. Park at Waitrose and you can cut through. I like Romsey.

I think it is not so bad as I first thought. The freezer and the contents appear to be good following a factory reset. But yes, a pain. Disrupted the morning.

Possibly. I don’t pretend that some guy worrying about his freezer is particularly interesting to anyone else. It was relevant, yesterday, because it explained my absense, but I don’t pretend that this nonsense affects me any more than it does anybody else.

Yep, checked it this morning, still -18C (normal running temp). It seems clear now that it must have been user error. So now we are paranoid about keeping the door shut.
Freezer was 3/4 full. Wife has had bright idea of running it down, but of course that counters our covid strategy of as few supermarket visits as possible. We have absolutely relied on the freezer through the pandemic.

We’ve relied on ours also. I’m using stuff from the freezer now, but replacing like for like because even frozen, food has a best-before/shelf-life. Indefinitely frozen doesn’t mean it retains quality or texture. Your wife’s ‘bright idea’ is sound.

Mostly, it’s her food. i also replace like for like, I’m predictable with foods so mostly it is turned around in 3-4 weeks.
She buys big stocks of (special, grass-fed) meat which even arrives frozen, so she takes the greater risk.
