Looks like we'll be fridge-shopping today. I got up, with one loudly meowing cat indicating his hunger… I get Sam's mince out and give him a spoon-full.
Open the fridge to put the tray of mince back in… *BANG*… a flash erupted from the top-left at the back of the fridge. Fridge lights go out.
I wondered if maybe this was just a PSU circuit for the lighting… shut the door, I figured I'd either see the signature power load on circuit GP1, or I wouldn't.
Had my shower, then checked the power meter… sure enough… that fridge has ceased to be.
