This is not an apology, it's a notification. My Samsung is working again and nobody touched it.

As previously written, my four year Samsung refrigerator stopped working last week and a serviceman was scheduled to arrive at our house Friday past to have a look and charge a lot.

Well something happened that delayed his arrival and eventually he called late Friday afternoon to say he wouldn't be able to make it until the next day.

And then something very strange happened. I got up in the morning and wandered into the kitchen only hear the fridge humming and working perfectly. The temperature lights on the front were back on and she was crankin' at -19 c in the freezer and +3 c in the fridge. Perfect.

Somehow, someway, to my benefit, it re-set itself. If the service guy had come on Friday he would have fixed a fridge that maybe didn't need fixing. His delay probably saved me big time.

I quickly placed a call to the service centre on Saturday morning and cancelled my 74 dollar appointment, and when I hung up my wife told me that the original person at the call centre had said something about Samsungs re-setting themselves with 24 hours.. but ours took 72.

We had a power outage in our area just prior to the fridge shutting down.

Whatever, it doesn't matter. All I know is that my four year old fridge is still working and its one more thing off the to-do list. I hate shopping for big ticket items.

Hopefully this isn't an intermittent problem. I'll keep you posted.
