looks like the fridge has died. The last power outage we had did a partial outage and fluctuated a bit before going off completely. I know that wears compressors if it's trying for full power and only gets partial. The electronics have been wonky too, making the open door alarm go off randomly, temperature just randomly resetting itself. Looks like it finally died now :(
New one gets delivered tomorrow. Looks like the chickens will get a feast today then.
@Kurtroedeger That sucks.
@GeezerWench a lot of milk went bad 🤦♀️ kiddo drinks a fair bit and now it's gotta be tossed. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@Kurtroedeger Plus, ya gotta go buy more.
*sigh*
@Kurtroedeger 🤔 trying to keep too many tortillas cold????
😆
@PurpleDragon maybe that was keeping things steady and I disrupted the balance by removing them all
@Kurtroedeger Brown outs cause damage through high current draws.
When the resistance (load) is constant and the voltage drops, Ohm"s Law says the current rises. Components are rated for both voltage and current, and if the current gets too high they can be damaged.
Usually it's capacitors that start failing from overcurrent, which affects the isolation and signal transfer of various circuits; and poor voltage regulation.
