Yup, refrigerator is dead

These RV refrigerators are prone to developing an irreversible blockage in the evaporator and condenser coils. A simple test to check if the coil is blocked is to hot wire the electric heating element bypassing the controls and see if the unit cools.

It doesn't.

Waiting

I remember walking in art galleries, through the nineteenth century: the obsession they had then with harems. Dozens of paintings of harems, fat women lolling on divans,turbans on their heads, or velvet caps, being fanned with peacock tails, a eunich in the background standing guard. Studies of sedentary flesh, painted by men who'd never been there. These pictures were supposed to be erotic, and I thought they were, at the time; but I see now what they were really about. They were paintings about suspended animation; about waiting, about objects not in use. They were paintings about boredom.

The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
