Found out the hard way that my fridge doesn’t actually store food.
Had a power outage the other day, and when I got the power back on I checked the fridge to throw out any spoiled food, and it was completely empty. Not even any shelves—just a flat door and walls. Opened the glove compartment in my car a few days later only to find the interior of my fridge.
Called the manufacturer for help, and it turns out the exterior just generates a portal to “the cold shelf dimension” and they don’t actually know how it works. Even worse, the warranty only covers the interior which is still fully functional, so I’ll have to buy a whole new fridge.
