Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 6/20/2009(UTC) Posts: 2		Hello, I have a nice double glass door (SNAIGE) brand fridge that I had brought back from one of my many trips to Afghanistan (Military) I have used it faithfully for years as my garage fridge. Unfortunatly due to my own stupidity while chipping away Ice build up ( I know, I know) I hit the freon line, which excaped all the R134 coolant. Is there a way to patch the tiny hole via poxy, and have the system recharged. Parts are very limited to find. And I just cannot get ride of the unit, to sentimental of where I aquired it. Any help please. Thank you Dumb Joe
