OT fire extinguishers?
Probably me, Doc. Before evacuating prior to a hurricane, a friend of mine
took some treasures - her 'good' jewelry, a lock of baby's hair and other little things that could never be replaced and carefully wrapped and sacked them. She put them in her freezer where no looter ( a real and ugly part of hurricanes) would bother to pilfer. When that freezer became really gross, nice neighbor emptied and tossed the contents. And FWIW, I ~do~ know the difference in a refrigerator and a freezer. The freezer doesn't have a light inside. Do you know why? Polly "Dr. Zachary Smith" It is. I made a joke, and some folks read more into it than was actually there. |

Not universal. My SWAG (see above) is: 1. It's a side-by-side 2. It's a freezer below 3. It's a special freezer bulb 4. It's a walk-in and those could all be wrong, and likely will be in the future, but like the song says... "Chances are..." |

Like Lizzie mine has a non-fluorescent bulb. The freezer is a big chest
type one. My freezer-below-the-fridge doesn't has a light tho. Now 'normal' bulbs have been all but phased out in the UK I wonder what it will be replaced with when it goes.

What are the incandescent bulbs being phased out in favor of? Are you
on the same higher voltage as Europe? On Jul 1, 2:12*pm, Sally Swindells wrote: Like Lizzie mine has a non-fluorescent bulb. The freezer is a big chest type one.
