I was cleaning my fridge freezer out and as i scrpaed away some ice, I have puncutured a small hole in the freezer walls. Ys that was dumb. There was immdiate loss of 'gas' but i have covered this with tape and the freezer is working again, however I am worried that there may be constant 'gas' leak and how dangerous this may be? Should I just turn it off and throw it away or is this a bit over the top and the freezer wont blow up on me??? help!!! Thanks
