nothing wrong with the fridges, the clowns at the shop kept getting it wrong. sent a left handed one instead of a right handed one, bashed it on the stairs and tried to pretend it was meant to come with a dent in the door, that kind of shit. but the 4th one has worked perfectly for years. you must have done something to it.

bad news - or maybe not. fucking striking cunts.
