TL;DR do the colours actually matter? Na they are just cables. A visual aid to prevent you fucking it up Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So black lead clipped onto engine bay somewhere on the dead car is correct then? The proper word is 'hearse'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priti priti priti Patel Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I was clearing out the ice from the top shelf of the fridge freezer there and I've put a steak knife through the ceiling at the top of the fridge compartment multiple times. Is this going to be an issue when switched back on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably will leak and best case scenario is it will work but be very inefficient worst case is it won't refreeze and will need to be replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in the cold air will leak out of the fridge or some kind of noxious gas will leak into it? As long as it stays cool that's fine as it's not the freezer section so we don't actually want it freezing up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gas that's been used as a coolant as far as I know there are a range of different ones to the not great to breath in to the dangerous to breath in. I would get an engineer out as depending on how deep the hole is you might be lucky and not have punctured deep enough to cause a leak. Also look at the manual and see what coolant gas is being used and then I guess it's you're call about powering it on again, I probably wouldn't until the engineer has been round. More fridges will keep things cold provided you keep the door closed for like 24 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a period of time, your part of the world will become uninhabitable and everybody will blame you. Then again I have been known to exaggerate from time to time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, didn't read your post properly there. You've most likely fucked the fridge then. Not necessarily though, so give it a spin and see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Fridge heater on and leave the door open obvs. Alternatively fill the blow up mattress with ice cubes and store all frozen goods on it.

BFTD Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Is it normal to attack your fridge with a big knife, to the point that you puncture the internal structure, which seems like it would be quite solid and dense? Just curious, as everyone seems to have taken it in their stride. It's not like it was the freezer portion; I think we'd all know what was going on if that had happened. Personally, I remove ice from my cold storage with a blowtorch. It's the only way to be sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
