You cannot fix a punctured evaporator coil. The cost is not economical and the repair is unreliable. best consider another fridge.

How do i defrost the freezer do i smply turn it off??

Yes... the best way is to empty it out and just turn it off leaving the door open...
A hair dryer or heat gun will speed things up but do not use a knife or ice pick...you can puncture the coils and kill the freezer...

I punctured something in my freezer and it is hissing. Can I fix this

You can fix it. You would first need to find the leak and repair it. Then your would need to evacuate the air out of the sealed system to prevent ice blockage. Then you would need to slowly add gas to the system till it reaches a maximum of 5PSI no more. Then you oughta be good.

Gladiator ref is not cooling properly

Check to see if there is cold air coming from the freezer to the refridgerator side through the vent holes The compressor maybe getting weak or the freon charge maybe low. Does the unit run a long time before it shuts off? 50 degrees is not cold enough for a freezer. You should be around 32 or less.

Punctured freon line in freezer

Please don't rate me down for this answer, but I'll be honest with you. No, you can not fix it yourself. The entire evaporator would have to be replaced by a service tech who has a refrigerant certification and the proper tools to do it. It would be prohibitively expensive. It's time to buy a replacement.

Punctured gas line/ uses R-12

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 (:

Freezer temp

either stat is bad or charge is low. bypassing stat will achieve desires temp. if not then charge is low. if charge is low then buy new. if compressor valves are bad then buy new. to expensive to fix these days. new is cheaper. good luck. stat is power lead in , power lead out. kill power then tie em together to get constant on. be sure yor thermometor is good. i just spent 20000 dollars fixing ref at a hospital, only to find there thermometors were bad! good luck.
