Gurgling noise in new mini fridge?

    So I just got a 4.5 cubic foot igloo mini fridge to turn into a kegerator. I let it chill down to make sure it works and then I began to move the ice tray. This fridge has an exposed line on the inside of the fridge from the bottom ledge to the ice tray. When I went to move the ice tray down I tried to bend the line as smooth as possible but I started to hear a gurgling noise so I stopped.

    My question is, did I mess up this fridge and how much punishment can that line take. The tray is still not far back enough so that I can properly fit the two kegs

    Included are two pictures to show what's going on. Thanks in advance!

    Gurgling noise is pretty normal, can be refrigerant condensing again.

    On the other hand, that line looks border line kinked. All you can really do now is try it and see if it still cools okay, but considering you still need to bend it more its going to be tough without completely kinking it. Good luck!
