Had to fix a smart fridge that kept playing polka music at 3 AM
This was last month for a client in a new condo building downtown. The thing had a busted control board that was sending random signals to the speaker. I spent two hours tracing it, only to find the main issue was a 50 cent capacitor that had gone bad. The owner said he woke up to 'Roll Out the Barrel' every night for a week. Has anyone else run into an appliance with a truly bizarre failure mode like that?

That sounds like a nightmare to track down.

Oh man, you're not kidding... It's the kind of thing that eats up a whole afternoon for no good reason. Just gotta hope you get lucky.

Ugh, totally. Reminds me of trying to find a specific old email without knowing the date or subject. You just keep scrolling and scrolling, clicking random search terms, and suddenly two hours are gone and you're reading receipts for stuff you bought in 2012.
