Giving it the 24 hours unplugged test a la LD.

A Thai bloke came over, all looked okay, says it looks like a gas leak as everything else seems to be working okay.

Then said that with such a case, once a leak has been fixed it starts using lots and lots of power, so often it's just more economical to buy a new one. Sounds a bit odd, any takes on it?

I'd guess it obviously depends on the gas leak and which part is leaking and how easy it is to replace that part.


There's much to be said for having two fridges in every home.

Luckily it's the smaller everyday one and not the King Kong one that went.
