How to fix a fridge

After a power outage lasting for several hours, while the electric company installed some new high tension wires to the village, our refrigerator stopped working. Since we are in a period of religious holidays, I called the company responsible for servicing Sharp products quickly, but they could only give me a date for October 16. It would be hard to live without a fridge for two weeks in the climate of the Middle East, so my wife called a repairman known to our daughter. He too said that he would be unable to come in the coming days, but gave a suggestion: Leave it unplugged with the doors open for several hours and “it should work again.” Rather skeptically, I followed his suggestion and, guess what: the fridge works again, just as before. We should pay the man for the consultation.
