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.

I killed one the same way but with an M16 bayonet.

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

i got the hiss with a screw driver didnt think they were that delicate

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.

I have a very lethal screwdriver that killed, not one, but two!

I'm glad I'm not alone LOL

Kille one at my last job that way, thankfully only a small, break-room model, LOL.

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.
