Tomoko Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Ouch! :cry: Did you know ice makers have a heating coil in them? I didn't but I do now. I was cleaning the freezer and the top of my hand touched the bottom of the icer maker...a few seconds later I was running to the sink to run water over my blistered finger and wondering wtf just happened. Looked it up and learned there is a coil that heats up to loosen the ice when it's ready to be ejected. You know you're having a bad day when you get burned reaching into your freezer. That's the last place I expected to find a burning hot coil. They should put a guard over that thing so stupid people like me don't touch it. (though this might make a great frivelous lawsuit) :laugh: Danielx64 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoko Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Now that I think about it I don't know why I didn't just quickly stick my hand down in the ice tray instead of going all the way to the sink. Reflex action I guess (or maybe confusion over why the ice was burning me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterC Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Why'd you run to the sink? Couldn't you just put your hand in the ice? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttus Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 wow, never knew that... and i've stuck my fingers in them and fiddled around with them, i guess it just wasn't when it was trying to get the ice out... good to know tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
