    Wouldn't be without it
    My studio flat was smaller than that!

    I've never seen a fridge like that in real life.

    Even things like potatoes and onions?

    Yep if I've bought them at the supermarket. Just bung em in. The pots def keep longer and I just cant be arsed to put my onions anywhere else. This is in direct contrast to my home grown onions though. No, they're not in the fridge. I'm mad it seems.

    Tomatoes at room temperature taste about 10 times as good as chilled toms.

    We'll agree to disagree. And my home grown cherry toms are probably better than yours at any temperature :p

    Bananas and watermelon are dodgy in the fridge. Bananas turn black and melon is soggy then leaves a persistent smell. :(

    Banana is a fruit. We don't keep them in the fridge. Whenever we buy melon (not often as its only me who likes it) then its gone in a day anyway. :D If it does hang around we keep it in a fridge and I've never had a problem.

    yeah, condensation, that's the word, not compensation.:o:o and, er . water not waer. I think that one was a genuine mis type though. :)

    I had half a dozen aging bananas so just made a monster amount of banana muffin mix, to make muffins for the freezer.....so why did I only get two dozen muffins out of it....they'll probably each come out the size of a victoria sponge :rotfl::rotfl:

    At the bottom of the fridge, right at the back, there is a little hole where the water drains. Is that hole blocked?

    Also, the water container may be full. The one at the back of the fridge.

    The instruction booklet for the new fridge specifically names banana and melon as the two foods you should not put in it.

    The conservatory is a disaster. Not only have I been too busy (and too hot) moving one FF out and another one in, but my kids begged the delivery men for lots of polystyrene bits - big blocks of stuff shaped to fit round the various white goods they'd been delivering - which are now filling the place. Maybe I should have said no, but then I thought, if they are playing with cast off polystyrene packaging, they are not watching the TV or playing with the computer, so maybe I should encourage this.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I can't reach the hole at the back today, if I can bend tomorrow I shall have a good look, but I'm not pulling the fridge out to look at the back til someone else is here to help :)

    Maybe it's plumbed in, in which case it would not need a water container, but all fridges make a lot of water - it's condensation from the atmosphere.

    I think you are wise to wait to investigate until someone else is there.
