Yeah, in the freezer compartment. Something to do with the auto
defrost. There was black soot on everything and everything smelled
smoky. It happened when we were at work. It put itself out. Even
though there had been a fire and there was no power to the fridge,
nothing had thawed. I did have to toss everything because of the soot
and smell and having no working fridge to move stuff into.
Apparently a fire in the fridge is not that uncommon. The insurance
company didn't want to see my list. They just told me I could buy new
or repair. Check was in the mail for the food. So, very quick
response
