Can refrigerators explode?

We've had a few issues with the fridge, mostly with the ice maker and dispenser. So when we had to call a repair man to come and figure out why we had hollow ice cubes and a giant puddle of water in the bottom of the fridge that seemed to be coming from the back of the freezer, I was (not) hoping for good news. (I don't think that it's any secret that I think the fridge should be replaced) When Dean (the repair man) told us it would be a few hundred in parts and labor and he wasn't even sure that all of the problems would be fixed after that, Mom and Dad decided it was time to bite the bullet and replace the (18 year old!) fridge.
Mom had sensed this was coming and had checked out Best Buy on Tuesday so that's where we stopped by first so she could show me what she had found. We found another, better one while we were there. It's a black side by side with an ice and water dispenser and it will be delivered on Friday.
Our other excitement yesterday (other than me wanting to muzzle my stupid dog because he wouldn't stop barking!) came around 7pm while we were eating dinner. The phone rang, I answered it, and we spent the next hour or so in a giant cleaning frenzy so that someone could come and see the house. Mom's happy because now the house is clean and picked up. They stayed for more than twenty minutes and were still standing outside talking when we got back. It was a couple that just had a baby and are trying to find something quickly. Everybody keep your fingers crossed!
