Dear friends,

Does anyone know about the inner workings of machinery? Because there is a machine in my kitchen that does I know not what, and it is vexing me very greatly.

Your servant,
CB

When I first had a kitchen, I thought the coffee maker was trying to kill me, and that the freezer was for shoes. Maybe if you describe the machine, that could help narrow it down?

[mrcbingley]

Certainly. It is large, with great wires and coils in the back, and panels on the front that, when pressed, shoot small cold projectiles at one. And it seems to be in a situation of permanent draft.

I'm no kitchen expert, but what you're describing sounds like a refrigerator- it's to keep your food cold and fresh. You have a nice one, it seems, with an ice dispenser on the front!

Ah, a refrigerator? Marvelous! Thank you very much for telling me. What sorts of things go in a refrigerator? I confess I have never had one.

What is an ice dispenser to be used for? I confess I have never known a great need for ice.
