Refrigerator

Our avocado-green General Electric refrigerator died. It stopped working a day after the compressor click of death started. I suspect that a lightning storm hit our fridge, which was causing a faint burning plastic smell everytime the fridge kicked on. It was a freaking old fridge, about 30 years old, and sadly it died and brought the temperature of the food inside of it to room temperature. That refrigerator lasted forever! It was crazy to believe that it died because it was a family/household item that was unique. The only thing that was different about it was that it was crazy avocado-green. Other than that, it was neat.

Now we ordered a new refrigerator, sadly not the same color, and it has no protuding handles. It will be weird to find a new place for our hand towel that went around the refrigerator handle. Our new Amana refrigerator will get here in the morning.

In an effort to salvage what was left, I took the plastic imprint of the refrigerator and peeled off the product label, which included the model number and serial number. It was made in the United States.

As for our new Amana refrigerator, it probably was made in China.

Man, this sounds like an obituary for our long-time refrigerator.
