Picked up a used mini fridge this morning for $40.
Two hours later I had it cleaned. Trimmed the door and was ready to bend down the freezer tray to give me the vertical clearance. Went extra slow. Thought I was being careful— then the hiss starts. Cracked the line right at the joint between the tray and the line. Blast!
I’m thinking a can JB weld the crack and recharge the system. But will it be worth the tools and materials? If I mended the crack and got a piercing valve on there, what can I expect to pay for a recharge?
Fix it or start the search over?
