Make sure it's really a heat resistant glass before you boil in it. My flask isn't labeled in any special way and I am not about to put it on the fire.

I think that the coolant lines in a fridge are generally in the back... but I am not sure and I wouldn't drill. Maybe you can find a service manual for your fridge?
