It's been a while since our fridge went a bit crazy and froze veggies that were sitting in water to keep them fresh. Obviously Timmothy remembers one of the times it froze everything liquid and passed that thought on through his cartoon.
Over cooling does beat having your compressor go out and forcing you to replace the entire fridge... we have had to do that twice in 5 years. Replacing a refrigerator is expensive. If yours is over cooling you may want to visit this cool site (pun intended).
You just never know when a major appliance will leave you in a lerch. The real problem is refrigerators, stoves, furnaces and AC units can all be budget busters AND if you just purchased a house you may not have the funds to immediately replace the dead appliance.
This is the reason I highly recommend a home warranty plan to be purchased prior to the closing of a home. If you are a Buyer you can ask the Seller to purchase one and they rarely (in my experience) refuse. If you are the Seller advertising that your listing has a Home Warranty will make it more attractive to potential Buyers.
I believe if you ask any agent with 10 or more years experience they can all tell you a story of a major appliance going out with-in a week of a new owner having purchased a home.
