That sucks. We bought a largish bar fridge when that happened to us, needed the extra room anyway

Discovered Friday evening the fridge stopped working. Freezer portion still works, though.

As a live in a rental, nothing will be done until Tuesday.
Throw a few bags of ice in the fridge if you have room and things aren't spoiled yet.

Unfortunately, the fridge temp was already in the high 50s when I noticed.  As a precaution, I'll be replacing everything in the fridge.

Spent all day waiting for a Bell installer....no show and no call. Yeah, I know it's weird they would be booking for a Sunday on a holiday weekend but when I questioned it they said their contract installers worked 7 days a week.  ???

That SUCKS. I hate delivery/contractor time "windows"... just had to deal with a ton of them at the tail end of our home reno. I'm sorry you had to waste your day.
