We cleaned the fridge on Saturday. I think the last time we took all the shelves out was 2019, so it was probably overdue. Then Wax unplugged it and scrubbed the whole inside and I scrubbed the shelves.
It was 12°C out, making it safe to put the food in two coolers and an Ikea bag on the enclosed (but uninsulated) porch. We put back the exact same food afterwards, but somehow there even seems to be more space now. Weird.
This fridge was in the house when we bought it, and there's nothing wrong with it, but it's full size and doesn't have a freezer. So we have a whole standing freezer next to it, and together they take twice the space that they should. They were going to be Wax's mom's, and when she died we had to keep them and give our compact, brand-new freezer-fridge to the tenants, because we had to keep all her huge stores of frozen food.
Our plan now is tentatively to get a chest freezer for under the stairs in the hall to keep all the frozen raw cat food in, and apart from that our freezer use is normal now that we've finally eaten through all my MIL's berries and jams. But not until we have some extra money to spend on kitchen appliances.
