I do home brewing and have an under counter fridge that had an ice box inside. I had to cut out part of this ice box in order to fit in equipment. I've cut through small pipes in the floor of the ice box. Its leaking the coolant in small amounts. My question is, is the whole fridge knackered as a result or would these be just for the ice box bit. I'll see if I can upload a pic. Fridge was a working one I picked up from the recycling centre. So nothing lost if its knackered.
Thanks hope this makes sense.

If you have cut through the coolant pipes it's knackered. The minute the motor starts up it will pump the remaining fluid out of the fridge.

If it’s any consolation you are not.the first to do something like this.nearly always impossible to repair a puncture in an evaporator but I have had success if the hole was small
