I received a Kenmore 253 upright freezer for free. Immediate reactions was "KEEZER". My dreams were immediately dashed when I opened the door and saw the coils in the shelves.
I did some research on this site and saw it was possible to slowly bend the shelves, which I did. I now have room to fit two kegs and maybe a third if I can store my CO2 tank outside.
My next challenge is drilling holes into the freezer. I wanted to run the temperature probe, two CO2 lines, and a power cord for a fan through the side of the freezer. I have tried the cornstarch in the freezer with doors open trick as well as the vodka/cornstarch on the sides trick. Neither one showed any results. I concluded there was nothing on the side, but when I touched either side, it was very warm. I therefore believe there is something on the sides.
I have three questions:
1) Any other suggestions on how I can find whatever is causing the heat?
2) Can I run everything through the door (which has no cables running to it) provided I leave enough slack for the door to open?
3) What about going through the top, especially for the power supply and probe?
Thanks
