If you took steaks out of the freezer and put them in the fridge two days ago are they still good to eat even after they expired?

probably. remember, back in the days before meat tenderizers like MSG (Accent) people used to hang meat up for up to a week to soften the flesh. that way it wasnt tough to eat. so, trust your nose and only worry about previously-frozen foods if they have"freezer burn" or have been frozen more than once. I'd probably eat that steak!

How can you remove an aircondition compressor without losing the refrigerant?

Before removing the compressor from a refrigerator or other appliances, you must 'reclaim' the refrigerant. This is done by connecting a compressor-pump on the access connection and pumping the refrigerant into an approved storage tank. once the refrigerant is out of the system, you crimp & cut the lines going into the compressor. There will be compressor lube in the compressor; don't spill it or let it leak out.

Arguably, I'm not a professional with wine in anyway, however to my understanding there are certain temperatures for different wines to be served at.

Re: Refrigerator Cooling Problems (General)

DISCONNECT POWER (UNPLUG) I am not responsible for your injuries; contact a qualified service technician if you are uncertain about any of these suggestions.

The first thing to do is to take a flexible hose of appropriate diameter and blow out the condensation drain tube. First, remove front grille and/or back bottom cover. The tube drains into drain pan near compressor. Reach in with hose from front or back of fridge (whatever is easier), insert hose in or over drain tube and blow into with your mouth. (All you're doing is cleaning tube of any debris which may be preventing proper draining of moisture condensate.) This condensate, if building up due to lack of drainage, can freeze close enough to temperature sensing device. Now system thinks refrigerator is cold when it is not, compressor does not need to run and you end up with warm refrigerator.*

This can also occur if defrost timer, heating element, and/or evaporator fan are faulty. Frost buildup, due to not be defrosted, can also cause the same condition as above. (If you are electrically competent, you can bypass timer and run heater and evaporator fan manually, for period of time, to see if this solves the problem. (You'll see water dripping from drain tube into pan) (If timer is not solid state you may be able to see if its motorized timing mechanism is turning) If running heater and evaporator fan manually solves problem than timer is bad. Also: Open doors and allow compartments to warm up and feel for air coming in thru vents into freezer and refrigerator. (you may need to hold door light switch(es) closed, light off) You should hear compressor turn on for this to occur. You may simply have blocked air passageways and/or an inoperative damper (present in some refrigerators).

* While you have front and back bottom panels removed, clean dust from coils.

(search the internet for a small enough vacuum cleaning tool to do the job)

You left steak in the refrigerator overnight already thawed out the next day parts of the steak turned bad Is it still good to eat?

Generally the cooking process kills all bacteria associated with bad meat. However, even if high temperature cooking completely killed the bacteria, the parts of the steak that turned bad would taste very nasty; because both the bacteria, and the cooking process will destroy any flavor the meat had.
