I punctured a hole in the freezer part will it still work?

only way to fix this problem is silver solder. It takes an oxy/acetalene torch to melt the silver solder and plug the hole. Then you have to evacuate the line (pull a vacuum on the line) and then add refigerant for it to work again you need: oxy/acetalene torch, vacuum pump, and gauges plus the refrigerent (134) probably buy a new freezer for the price of all the equipment

Is the freezer/ refirdge still working? If everything is still working, then the puncture did not cause damage to any great extent. Just place a piece of aluminum duct tape of the puncture hole. You can purchase the tape in a hardware store or Home Depot/Lowes, in the plumbing, heating dept. If the refridge is not working, then there is a major repair to be done.

Simply no. Sounds like a line in the cabinet has been punctured. No repair for that.

Yes, you need to patch the hole right away with epoxy. Before applying the epoxy make sure you sand and clean around the punctured area to give the epoxy a rough surface to adhere to. Turn the freezer off and wait for it to achieve room temperature before applying the epoxy.

as long as you did not cut a wire or refrigerant line it will be fine.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

If it still freezes then it should not be dangerous. It will add a lot to the cost of operation. You can fill the hole with insulation, that will help a lot. There is various types in aerosol cans that will work quite well.

Good Luck,

If you punctured the aluminum tubing or the freezer aluminum evaporator , it cannot be repaired . If the puncture is in the copper tubing , only silver solder will fix . On the compressor , you will see a short piece of tubing , capped off . This is where the access fitting was . A good technician will ALWAYS remove the access valve , due to possible refrigerant leak . After removing the end of the tube , silver solder another valve into the tubing . Evacuate the system , recharge with correct amount of refrigerant , crimp the tubing at the access valve and remove the access valve . Re-solder the end of the short tubing , and it's done .

The freezer coil where you punctured is made of aluminum and there's not cheap way to fix it , but if the refrigerator is in good conditions you can replace the coil or get somebody to do it ( it is an expensive job).

not very easily. Most freezers have the evaporator and condenser inside the wall of the cabinet and you cannot access them. If the puncture is in the condenser you can put in an exterior condenser however the parts break down for your model does not offer this option (:

you're all done buddy. sorry to say i have never seen in 21 years of doing ac and ref work anyone that could weld aluminum saturated with oil . an airtight hermetic seal is mandatory, and with a hole punched its new unit time. sorry
