I just lifted the iron down from the shelf, and found its base was covered in rust. I cleaned it off with a brillo pad, but fear I might have got some water in the works because plugging it in shorted out the power for the entire house. Twice.

hendybear, maybe we shouldn't have used the iron to defrost the freezer after all.

I once defrosted a freezer with the nail-removing bit of a hammer. The freezer was certainly defrosted throughly... after I hit one of the cooling loops...

That sounds like much the same experience.

Fridges are one of the most reliable machines ever invented, until you let human beings near them.
