Because I know how to fix it, it broke.

 

My free mini fridge (more like a medium fridge... it's 5 feet tall and 24" wide) had a very poor design as to how the compressor was attached to it, so towing it home on a trailer resulted in a broken line. I just happen to have HVAC gauges, 26 pounds of R-134a, and the proper plumbing tools needed to repair it.

 

If I didn't know shit about HVAC, that fridge would be 100% fine. :|

 

Oh and believe me, I AM fixing it. It was a fight getting it out of the junk camper I found it in, and the bitch can turn triple distilled vodka into slush.

I got a free mini fridge today too. but all I have to do is pack it up the stairs

 

The one I have was like $350 new and I'm not about to try and find one cheap on Craigslist lol... especially when I can spend about $5 to fix it.

I have a old Kenmore mini fridge that is my knight in shinning cold ass armor.

 

This is an older GE but worked great and was very quiet... perfect for my bar I'm building  O0

I can take a pic of the repair but I am waiting on the access schrader valve to get here so I can solder it on to the compressor to charge the unit.

 

And trust me, it's a rig. But I'm only dealing with low pressure.

Pics?

 

 

Misaka[/member] , the tube on the left that has a kink and leads nowhere is the access tube. I have to cut that off and solder on a schrader valve for R12, then use my gauge set and 30lb can of R-134a to fill it. The repair is the obvious yellow hose, rated for 600psi. That line runs at about 25-30psi :D
