You should def try hitting the reset button on the bottom like GF suggested. If that doesn't work then you'll have to turn it upside down for about 30-45 min because all of the freon is near the bottom of the fridge and you need to get it back towards the top in order to work properly.

before you flip it over (if the reset doesn't work) make sure to take all the shelves and bins out...if you don't they might break when they fall

Give the guy a little credit, jeez.

Give credit to a guy who needed coaching on how to kill a mouse?

Good point. We should remind him to leave it plugged in when hitting the reset button, otherwise it won't do a damn thing.

You guys are jackasses.

IGY, you are going to need to empty it out, unplug it over night and plug it back in the next morning empty. When it gets cold again slowly reload it (a few items every hour.)

Diomedes · September 09, 2011, 07:21:04 PM

But DO NOT leave it plugged in if you have to flip it over.

Oh christ...he's farged.

Just buy a new one, moneybags. Donate yours to one of your poor ghetto friends.

i thought you had to leave it plugged in if you use the "shake" method when you turn it upside down..

Newer fridges are too big to shake.

Ok, so I moved into a new house last week. There's a loft bedroom that needed the carpet replaced when I moved in, and the installer came out today and worked his magic. I've never been in a house while the carpet was being installed. In fact, I don't think I've ever had brand new carpet. Anyway, either the carpet or the padding underneath smells funny. Is this normal? Is there such a thing as "new carpet smell" that just happens to be kind of awful?

Hopefully its just the voc's (volitale organic compounds) off gassing from the carpet. If you can open the windows for a day or two. After that, if the smell doesn't go away or get better, check the padding for any kind of mold growth. If you were there while they removed and installed, did you see any kind of mold growth in the underlayment?

Oh and btw, congrats on the new house man!

Diomedes · October 13, 2011, 08:01:07 AM

yes, new carpet smells like a chemical factory

the smell will dissipate over time

but as long as you live there, you'll be huffing nasty fumes, whether you can smell them or not

I had a new front door custom built for our home. It will be delivered in a couple weeks and after I tear out the old one and install it, I need to paint it. I'm not settled on color yet. If I don't go with a muted, grown-up color, I'm considering Eagles/Kelly green .

This is a long shot, I know...but whatever: Has anyone ever had Eagles/Kelly green paint mixed? If you have, can you give me the code/mix data?

Thanks.
