Homeownership 101

So turns out...it is a good idea to vacuum and clean under your fridge.  The pic above was about halfway through cleaning...so it was not a pretty sight to begin with.  I had heard my fridge make a weird noise or two and went to Google to then panic that if I didn't do something quick it would stop keeping everything cold.  So they, meaning every article on Google, said you should clean your compressor coils...especially if you have pets.  Well it's been eight years and one very hairy, shedding dog since that has happened so I figured I would give it a go. The videos made it look pretty easy removing that bottom panel.  And maybe it would be if I owned a wrench.  I didn't clean the actual coils but I vacuumed what I could out of there and the floor is white again.  I am pretty sure I hear the motors running fine again but now I am analyzing how loud they were to begin with.  Funny the things we hear and see daily yet never really hear or see the details.  Crossing my fingers I fixed the noise and all is cold in the morning.  
Time to go change my shirt.
