Cleaning when you own pets ...

My daughters fridge is doing the same thing, how did you fix it?

Is ice building up inside the fridge on the bottom? That is what mine was doing. There is a little hole in the very back on the bottom of the freezer and that was plugged on mine.

I am looking forward to seeing if my electric bill goes down next month because the fridge was running constantly before we cleaned it and now it is also quieter.

The funniest incident in our clan was many years ago - about 20-something - my eldest niece and nephew were about 3-4 years old, and had discovered where Gracie (the Great Dane mix)'s cookies were stored at my parents' house. One of them would declare "Gracie's hungry!" at random moments, they'd give her a biscuit, and she'd dutifully trot off with it. No one realized how frequently they were doing it until days later, we moved the recliner in the living room for vacuuming, and discovered Gracie's stash! She obviously ate one or two, then tucked the rest away, out of sight of the kids, but also out of reach for herself. Before the next family gathering, we moved the "cookie bin" to where small children could not see it!

I will have her check, the hole is in the back of the freezer right? So if its plugged she should just unplug it?

Yes. Mine was filled with ice. Knock on wood, it has not leaked since he thawed it out yesterday morning.
