Feels good to know that I am not the only one who punctured the mini fridge with knife.

Thank you!! Love my mini and now I know how repair the hole that I put in the freezer today while impatiently defrosting. Note to all: hammers and screwdrivers should be avoided at all times while defrosting. ;)

Awesome! Never seen a fridge repair video go this far. This is truly resurrecting a dead fridge.

Yeah my husband took a knife and picked at the freezer..then I hear a The refrigerant sizzled out and a hole was there in the freezer coil. This exact thing happened to my mini fridge. I'm so glad you found a solution. I love youtubers! 🩷

Oh my ! you saved me . I thought I had to get a new one and I was heart broken because that mini fridge was my husbands last thing he had of his brother that passed away in June . He gave it to him and couple days later he passed . I felt so bad that I punctured a hole and now I know how to repair it . Thank you so much

One week after my repair and still cool. :) Thanks so much! Just a few words on Autozone and obtaining the vac and gauges. They don't rent these. However, I was pleased to find out that they LEND them. You just have to put down a deposit to temporarily buy the loaner ($300 on my CC for the set). Upon return, you get you full deposit back up to 90 days. I did have to buy oil for the vac for $10. Total out of pocket for repair was about $40, but I saved a $1, 300 U-Line beverage center (fancy mini-fridge) for now. Repair was estimated at $850 to replace the evap. unit. They would not patch it.

Just punctured a hole in my 1957 GE Fridge freon line. . (I know, I knew better). I love her and can't get rid of her and can't get a repairman out so this is exactly what I needed! Great easy to follow video. Thanks!

That was informative even for a chic that doesn't understand anything about fixing a mini fridge leak and refilling it with coolant. Thank you for a video with awesome explanation.

Another impatient defroster here, now I know how to fix, great video...

[JohnElHanafi]

Just bought the stuff from Amazon and will give this a try in the next few days! Will keep you posted. Also, Note to self: DON'T BE A DUMMY, AGAIN...and use sharp objects on freezers!

3 minutes in, I'm hooked. I'm good with diy but I guess that stops at refrigeration and such... Anyway, you're awesome, explanations and additional words added on the video are great. Boosting my confidence further is that you seem to have a much deeper knowledge of this than you're explaining. I look forward to your other videos.. thank you! I'll be back!

edit: also, if you don't know a ton about this, you've done your research and/or approach the issue really well and thoroughly. Love your intro jump, I'm here for a long time ❤️

Mad respects to you bro, was about to drag this thing to the curb, im broke asf at the moment and can’t afford a new one lol, you told me what my issue was in the first minute of this video😂 thank you

[robertpastorella]

Nice, thanks for that. I needed the full run down of the process along with the tools and materials needed…now that's a winning formula for videos!

[mr.b]

Ordered parts from your links and fridge is back to life! Thanks!

[shannlevy]

Thank you! I used your video to repair my mini fridge. Now everything is back to normal. Great video.

[sailingblackphoenix]

Well, I just used a knife on my freezer section and puncture a hole in it. Being a impatient defroster. Now I have to do this same exact thing to fix the hole. Thanks for the video.

[scorpionblade]

This video is awesome. Very detailed and informative. I now I know I don’t have the patience to fix my mini fridge. Looks like I’m buying a new one. 😎

[petersamios]

Nice job and explanation. It's also nice to see your generation being active in HVAC.

One note - to properly handle refrigerants, you should suggest that all get the appropriate licensing. This one is fairly easy and cheap to get: EPA 608 certification. The exam costs under $30 and you can get the training online.

Way to go man! Just punctured my fridge and really needed this
