Ice in fridges don't melt after leaving and re-entering the lot

I'm moving this over to that thread then. 

This sounds more like an actual bug than some oversight with off-the-grid.

crinrict Yes, I think so. I have seen ice at 100% and staying there after returning to my lot.

richvh​  there's a seperate thread for ice not melting anymore causing issues: Ice in fridges don't melt after leaving and re-entering the lot | EA Forums - 12023597 

Could this be connected to your issue ?

Off the grid capable refrigerators will sometimes not use ice when there is no power. I'm not entirely sure of the trigger conditions, but I've seen it numerous times, both in modded and unmodded games (but the modded games don't have any mods that affect refrigerators or off-the-grid behavior.) I have observed, but only so far in modded games, that when stored power is used up (such as at night when the only power source is solar panels) that ice does start to get used. The "don't use power" switch on refrigerators (available only when there is power available on the off-the-grid lot) also doesn't seem to work, as they don't use ice while that switch is set (again, only observed so far in modded games.) 

I noticed the not melting ice bug too

My intention was for this thread to report the power bug, not the ice bug,

There was a bug fixed for that: [FIXED] [ECO] Off-grid fridges drain power, can't turn off utility usage | EA Forums - 11448627 but it sounds bit different.

I think it's best if you just create a new thread for that aspect. It's not mentioned in the other thread and depending on how far along the investigation is on that one, it might get missed.

Thankscrinrict. I know you changed the title to match the archived thread but can you somehow flag the part about power draining? That feels like the more intrusive part of the bug, or possibly even a seperate bug.
