Thanks for the tip Opihikao, I will file a grievance, and see if Helco will do the right thing - although I have my doubts. The refrigerator just passed its one year warranty. But I have heard from appliance salesmen that damage caused by power surges from power companies are not covered. If it's not too late, I'm thinking of getting an appliance surge protector if there is such a thing. BTW, the last blackout was caused by yesterday's geothermal eruption I believe.
