We poked a hole in the back of the refrigerator and think we punctured a line and the freon is leaking. Is there a replacement part? If not, is it repairable? And how much do you think it would be.

SOURCE: need freon recharge. punctures freezer coil in

You punctured the aluminum evaporator . In the many years I've been in refrigeration , I have yet to find any way to patch a hole in the evaporator . I've used epoxy , solder , and all different advertised ways to try to patch aluminum . Nothing worked ( for long anyway ) . My suggestion would be to buy another refrig . You will be wasting time and money trying to " fix " this problem . To repair it yourself , you have to have a license to buy R12 , maybe you can buy R134A without a license , you have to look on the " modell , serial number tak to see which it uses and how much to use . Also , the system has to evacuated ( all air removed from the lines ) . Do you have a vacuum pump ? You have to buy a solder on connector ( or saddle valve which WILL leak eventually unless you get a solder on valve ) which will connect to the larger tubing on the compressor or use the access line already on the compressor but is pinched off . Do you have guages for the refrigerant type you need to use ? Once you have these things , reply back and myself or someone else will help you procede .

How do i fix and replace a freon leak?
If the leak is able to be seen and easy to get at you might want to take it where they replace parts for fridges and see if they can solder the holes. That's what repair people do when you have a Freon leak in a fridge.

Is it possible to repair a small puncture in the freon line inside a small fridge
The hole can most likely be fixed with epoxy and a filter drier added to the refrigerator by an experienced refrigerator technician but the problem involved will be the cost to have the repair done. It would be less expensive to replace the refrigerator, Thanks Sea Breeze

Can freon be added to an under the counter unit?
Freon can be added to any unit, but you e going to have to take the unit out to exposed the back where the component are located. Why do you think that you need freon. Unless the line was punctured. it unlikely that you would need to add freon, Is it not getting/keeping cold. Problem might lie elsewhere like in the thermostat. Hope this helps.

IF YOU PUNCTURED THE FREON LINE WOULD IT MAKE A NOISE
Normally you would hear a hissing noise like a gas leaking. If you were smoking it would smell kinda nice before the phosgene gas killed you. Freon turns into phosgene when near a heat source.

SMALL OUTDOOR BEER REFRIGERATOR DOOR LEFT OPEN OVERNIGHT IT STARTED DEFROSOTNG AND THEN ACTED LIKE IT BULIT UP PRESSURE AND BLEW OUT AIR OR REFRIGERANT AND DOES NOT COOL ANYMORE
Hi, absolutely there's refrigerant (freon) leak check your condenser and evap. for rupture (broken lines) also check for oil, presence of oil means, refrigerant (freon) leak, plug ref, and listen, for hissing sound inside and outside of ref. try to locate leak, or call mechanic, repair leak, change filter drier and recharge, if your evap punctured, you should immediately disconnect ref, and dry all water from evap, prevent water from entering system, could damage compressor, or if water get into compressor, you will have to change compressor oil. yes, you surely have a refrigerant (freon) leak.good luck.

Leak repair Samsung window air conditioner
Modern window units intentionally do not allow the water to drain directly, they want the fan blade to sling the water on to the condensor (the coil that is outside) to aid in cooling actually helps the unit cool better in high outside temps, it also evaporates it this way, depending on where the hole was drilled it may be able to be repaired, if it was just a copper tube it will be less expensive than replacing the whole coil. Since its a relative inexpensive unit anyway the labor and freon may be more than its worth. Lesson learned dont drill a hole in the base it lowers it's efficiency and can lead to a punctured freon line.
