I'm a Special Kind of Stupid (Poked a Hole in my Freezer)
Fucking hell. It's been a peaceful weekend, and I thought, 'hey, maybe I should defrost my freezer.'
Unplugged the bastard, and opened the doors. It was taking freaking FOREVER, so I decided to get a knife and take a few stabs as the slowly melting ice.
I was on a roll. I was stabbing the thing like I was Joe Pesci with a pen. It was working. It was working so well, in fact, I thought, 'damn, I'll be done in a few minutes at this rate.'
Whack! Whack!! Wha....HIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....................
I fucked up. I ended up poking a tiny little hole in the bugger, and all the gas leaked out. Just a pin sized hole. FUCK.
Now what? I don't think the superglue I put on there will do fuck all. Google confirmed I'm an idiot.
And the worse part is to replace the whole damn thing will cost $250.
So, is it worth finding someone to patch the hole and refill it with freon, or am I totally fucked and will need to replace it?
This happened in the desert, so I'm just asking for general information before I aimlessly walk through the streets and try to find the 'refrigerator street,' and see if someone will come help a brother out, or do I need to bite the bullet and go buy a new one?
God dammit.

It can be fixed easily, provided you didn't do a Bates on it.
They drain it and solder it, then refill it.
This is why they provide and ice scraper, btw.

Thanks. I'll try that then. I can only assume it will cost less than $250.
Off we go....

And no, it's a tiny hole.

There are reasons why they warn you about doing this. It's not just to make your life difficult.

My knife looked slightly different than the one on the warning label, so I thought I'd be fine.

And I just came back from freezing Canada. I could have made a killing on selling ice scrapers in Cambodia just to the General alone.
