A fairly common nuisance among owners of refrigerators is the following problem: you have punctured the camera or the evaporator in the refrigerator. This usually occurs through negligence. Many people, in order to noticeably speed up the process of defrosting a refrigerator, can “help” it with a knife, breaking off the ice or removing a snowy “fur coat”. Also, there are frequent cases when the hostess urgently needs to get something out of the freezer, but the products are so frozen to the walls or the bottom of the chamber that you just can not do without a sharp-cutting object. So holes, punctures, holes appear. Less commonly, damage can occur for independent reasons - during transportation, etc.
What is dangerous about a vaporizer puncture, and what to do if you pierce the chamber of your refrigerator
The evaporator is designed so that if damage appears in it, then gas (freon, refrigerant) starts to escape from it. If you do not see the puncture on time and turn off the refrigerator, then this is fraught with serious damage. We are talking about the fact that water can enter the channel cavity. This is threatened, first of all, by the fact that the refrigerator will no longer freeze.
What to do in a similar situation
If it so happened that you yourself pierced the camera, then your task is not to complicate the problem further, so first you need to turn off the refrigerator and urgently remove all the water from your freezer. If you do not, then you will risk the serviceability of the most expensive part of your refrigerator - a motor-compressor. Repair in this case will be not only more complicated and longer, but also more expensive.
In addition, the masters do not advise listening to advice from the Internet and from a neighbor, where they suggest plugging a hole from a puncture with plasticine, sealants, adhesive tape or electrical tape - this will not help. As a temporary measure (a couple of hours), this can play a good service, while the master is coming to you, but for a long time the refrigerator with such a “repair” will not last. Do not try to eliminate the puncture of the evaporator of the refrigerator on your own - sooner or later, such an “initiative” will remind you of yourself with unpleasant consequences.
