Bar fridge problem

Jul 30, 2004 8 Replies

Not quite a home repair question.



We have a small bar fridge at work. The other day we set about to defrost it. We unplugged it and sat it outside the back door to thaw a bit. We got a little impatient and took a screwdriver and hammer to it and immediately punctured the freezer compartment side with the tubes of refrigerant (cfc-12). We may have breathed a little bit of the stuff.


  1. How long do we have to live?
  2. I assume without refrigerant, our bar fridge is nothing more than a small white locker.

Thanks.

Bingo!

Luck, Brian

Not enough for the slightest concern.

Hi,

Ooops!!

Do you smoke? Do you exercise? The refrigerant gas will not harm you by breathing in some.

Own a boat?....cause you have a great boat anchor!

I don't know about that. The insulation may make it a god marker bouy....

LOL! That may be possible as well :)
