Ah, dammit!

Tasha and I decided to allow our home warranty to lapse due to continued reports that Prestige is a sham company and does not cover things as fully as they claim to. Plus, we had only used our warranty twice this year and it was hardly worth the cost.

On cue, during D&D tonight came downstairs and let us know our refrigerator’s light was out. I checked the circuit box and it showed that the circuit had tripped. I tried to turn it back, and we got sparks. So I went upstairs, unplugged the fridge, and began examination process. The back of the freezer was hot to the touch, so we evacuated the contents of the freezer to my parents house.

Since the home warranty has lapsed, we’re going fridge shopping tomorrow. I love the way that two days after the coverage ends for my home warranty, a major appliance that would’ve been covered blows out like this.

Thankfully the new budget we started this year contains an emergency fund, and this is a weekend in which massive appliance discounts are easy to find. My parents have plenty of extra freezer space for us to borrow to stash our new month’s groceries, so this will all work out.

Life is full of crappy things like this from time to time. It’s just interesting how coincidental it can be sometimes.
