I am converting a Magic Chef 440YW-2 into a tower kegerator. It has a freezer compartment and that is where the coolant runs into the fridge. Does anybody know if there is anything on the top I need to watch out for when drilling the hole with the hole saw? How do I find them and know where to drill?
 
I was wondering what you ended up doing here.

I have a 440YW-1. I drilled holes in the side of the fridge for the CO2, narrowly missing the coolant lines. I didn't realize that they ran through the sides (amateur I know). I am now wanting to add the tower to the top but am skeptical on drilling the top. What kind of information did you find out about this?
 
There's a thread about locating coolant lines. As I recall, you turn on the frige, then mix up a solution of baking soda and water and paint it on. Let me see if I can find it for ya.
 
my bad it was corn starch and alcohol. Check out this youtube video and see if it helps ya.
