Chip Chip SSSSSSS!
Yep, my little icebox in my bedroom had a freezer full of solid ice so I grabbed my mason chisel and a hammer. Got a bucket full of ice and reached the back of the freezer when I heard a hiss.
Oh well, I had that box close to 20 years. Time for a new one which I got.

Its been 25 years but I am still reminded of it on a regular basis.

Use a hair dryer. Then there is no hiss.

I used to fix appliances and this was a common service call. I had to tell people it wasn't worth the money to repair them either. I had one guy stick his gum over the hole. I have to admit it did hold some of the charge but not for long.
Your best bet is to unplug and let nature take it's course. Using a hair dryer used to drive moisture into the fiberglass insulation and cause problems later but since they use foam now probably not a problem.

That's the way it is, they can't remember where they put their car key's 10 minutes ago, but boy anything you did wrong, is never forgotten.

Yep this is the way I do it can't beat nature and this way is free, or heck you could just get one of those new fangled frost free models.
