This issue started with the big patch (1.50 i believe it's called?). When my sim travels away from home (and this has just started with going to University as well), when they get home, they can no longer access the refrigerator. They just stand there for a while, then get that "something is in the way" bubble over their head, then nothing. Selling the fridge and buying the new one fixes it, though not always permanently. I've had to sell and buy two fridges since my sim last came home from the university.
