When's the last time a refrigerator and/or freezer failed on you?

We're currently in the middle of our refrigerator/freezer unit dying because of a bad compressor, and it does complicate things.
You can't really store anything perishable in it anymore because you don't know how long this cold cycle will last, and the freezer is even more unusable for the same reason.
The other freezer units are packed to the brim with everything, and the refrigerator is stuffed much tighter than usual.
Hoping to get a new one this weekend.
