  • More than a decade ago I still found Musk quite innovative and inspiring. Politically I think he still supported democrats back then, at least he wasn’t openly fachist. Can absolutely see how people bought a Tesla without anticipating all what happened 5 years back, not to speak of 10++.





  • The humidity seems crazy high for some reason. I don’t think it’s that humid in my apartment. In my room it never goes above 60% at worst though I guess around the fridge it may be higher…

    The relative humidity changes with temperature. If you have humidity of 60% in your room and you cool it down, the humidity will rise as cold air can hold less water vapor than warm air. So especially in a scenario where you regularly check the temperature and humidity by opening the fridge, I would definitely expect a high humidity. Over time when the door is closed, humidity should go down as it condensates and then either freezes at the back (bad) or as a liquid through the little opening that you cleaned (good).



  • About temps: no idea. The thing is, I never measured the temperature inside it BEFORE it was fixed, so even if I measure it now I have no point of comparison :-/

    You could still validate against the general recommendations. If it’s 2 °C instead of 6, then it’s probably too cold.

    But still, my bets are on humitidy getting in somewhere. Even if it’s super cold, there won’t be ice without humidity.


  • From my perspective, if there’s way more ice than before, chances are high that it’s no longer air tight. If warm air with high humidity leaks into the fridge, it condensates on the cool walls of the fridge and freezes there. Maybe the spare part doesn’t seal the opening 100% and that’s where the air is coming in.

    Regarding the temperature: Did you put a thermometre inside to see if it’s significantly cooler than expected?
