You know somethings not right when...

The ice tray in the freezer, which was full of ice cubes yesterday, is now full of water. And there is warm air blowing out of the vents in the freezer. And the refrigerator is getting warmer, even though it is running constantly.... We've been having some trouble with the freezer going through complete defrost/freeze cycles in the last months, but never trouble in the fridge - until today... Holidays are great days for things to go wrong, when they can't be quickly fixed...

So, we have a big cooler full of ice, and the former contents of the fridge, sitting in the kitchen. What was in the freezer was sent to the big chest freezer a while ago, and all we'd been trying to keep was ice... Of course, this couldn't fail in the winter, when we just put everything into the big fridge that the garage becomes...

All should be well again in a few days, depending on how quickly a repairman comes out, figure out what is broken, and gets the parts. (We already had one visit, where he cleaned the coils and said to check if things started working once all was clean...)
