    Seeing is believing.

    My husband was traveling on business when we had this conversation.

    Me: There's brown stuff on the floor in front of the fridge. I looked and looked but it doesn't seem to be coming from inside.
    Him: Are you sure?
    Me: I checked the soy sauce and the balsamic vinegar in the door but both are intact.
    Him: I'm sure it's fine.
    Me: Trust me on this one. The dogs aren't interested in it. If it was food, they would be. I've had to clean it up about four times now.
    Him: Let's look at it when I get back.

    He came back.

    Him, standing in front of the fridge: This isn't coming from inside!
    Me: Nope.
    Him: We have to get a new fridge right now!
    Me: Yep.

    So off we go to get another one, crossing our fingers that this one won't fail completely before the other one gets here.

    At my house the conversation would be different. After me alerting OH to the brown stuff and him seeing it he would say

    Get the cooler out and put the food in it. I'll take the door off, take it apart and fix it. He probably would too, fix it.

    The woman at Home Depot said it sounded like a gasket had failed and we were about to lose the compressor. Our new one comes in on Tuesday.

    Fingers crossed that your old one survives a few more days.

    We wouldn't have the conversation until hubby got home. It would go like this...

    Him: Whoa! What? Is that a new fridge?
    Me: Uh huh.
