Just an FYI - I had an old freezer, close to 40 years old. I had a fire
on Christmas day - the old brittle wiring had broken down and started a
fire INSIDE the stupid thing...
Ruined all my food and stunk up the place, but fortunately I was home at
the time and damage to my home was avoided... After that I also
discarded my very old dehumidifier and got a new unit. The moral of the
story is, well, you get the idea...
