The Ref

Everywhere else I have been the ref is a referee and the fridge is the refrigerator is a fridge. Here fridge is ref and we are on our third one. What is the history of a ref that can only be opened by Authorized Persons? The first one never got cold. The second one was worse. This one didn't make ice and dripped into pans to catch the streams. Open the door:full of metal pans.
Two repair guys came and expanded the door seal and now we have ice and no drip pans.
Our life here is now perfect. M
