What kind of fridge do you have and what's in it? How often do you
defrost/clean it?

Avocado, circa 1971.
Lots of weird stuff that my folks puzzle over when they babysit!
I cleaned it when we moved in in 1989.

Mine is a 1990 Whirlpool side-by-side huge-cu-ft (for 2 people!) It self-defrosts and gets the mildew cleaned off the doors when I cannot stand it any longer and the gaskets get bleached about the same - once a month?! The inside does not get too bad unless there is something left uneaten too long in the reefer side...then I clean the whole mess out. Change the baking soda about the same as when I remove the mildew and bleach the door gaskets.
What kind to you have, Terry, and how often do you clean it out?

COOL fridge!
I don't think I've ever cleaned a fridge in my whole life. It's just not the kind of thing that would ever cross my mind. I think men are far more tidy in the kitchen than women are.

I have four, two in Austin and two out in Cedar Creek, well, six if you
count the two small room fridges. I just got a side by side with a cool
icemaker in the left freezer door (crushed, cubed or cold water) with a
water filter. The other side has a compartment for milk. But it's not
for two, it's for seven folks! I have a less exotic side by side at Cedar
Creek, Helen put a big uncovered turkey in it last night. Before that she
had a huge water melon in there. The Austin fridge is a Sears. More
later . . .

OK, we also have a small one which runs off the car battery and will keep food cold as long as the car is running - great for long trips. Mine has through-the-door ice and chilled water, but no crushed ice. Ours is packed all the time - as soon as I find a space in it, someone goes out and buys stuff to put in there lest we starve...( something which is highly unlikely!)
My last fridge was a Sears and it is still running somewhere in Hilo under new ownership - it must be over 20 years old and never had anything go wrong with it.

Mildew? Bleaching gaskets? Reefer side?? I gotta get me one of those!
I also have a deep freeze, but I won't tell you about it since this topic is just for fridges. :-)

Reefer is what the refrigerated containers on container ships are called - and they get called the same things when transfered to trucks for overland hauling.
No madness nor forbidden weed involved at all, sorry to say ( or happy as the case may be) I have an upright freezer also but it is non-functioning and full of bags of fertilizer (don't ask!)

Terry, why does a person with your kind of eating habits need such elaborate fridges??? Or do you eat your oat wheat sticks with mineral water dip cold?

Simple answer. Lotsa roomies. And no to the second question. I have a
whole network of fridges, each with their own ip addresses and webservers.

Isn't Freon 2.1 about to be rendered obsolete and replaced by ozone.friendly 3.0?

Not too bad... But, it is telling me to clean the green furry stuff off the front and the black stuff off the gaskets again...*sigh* How was yours? Yours is 6 times more intensive than mine ever is...with all sorts of Raiders of the Lost Pork in there...!

HA-HA!!
Your fridge sounds so perfect though, Marcia. With all that fur it becomes not only a source of ingestible comfort, but when it runs empty, you can hug it!

I only made one trip to my main fridge at Quail Creek, but it was a good
one. The newness is still in it. The icemaker was full. The food was a
little cold so I cranked down the temperature guage. It's so big and
clean and white. I love the sucking sound it makes when you open the
door.

I like draft Michelob. Guiness is my favorite when I'm in the mood.

Needs to be cold weather for Guiness... Happy to hear about the Draft Michelob- they had it in kegs at Penn State and it was soo incredibly good...or perhaps it was the guy I was with - he was incredible, as well...!
