a mouse tried to get closer to the warm heatsink. His carcass jammed the fan blades and got dessicated with the heat.
Burt Lang VE2BMQ Yes I guess that could Happen , I live in a City and My 6 Month old Fridge quit working , Well of Course bring a Ham Some of us including Me thing We can fix anything , I pulled it out from the wall and Found a Dead Mouse caught up in the Fan blade stopping it . I dug it out and cleaned it out put a screen over it, Plugged it in and it has been working great now for a couple of years. My Wife likes to use Decon , I understand the Mice swell up and look for water then go behind the walls etc and Decay and smell . So it was all Her fault Happy Holidays Don
