Sometimes it's possible to patch the leak with epoxy, and then
recharge the freon. Call a couple appliance repair guys, and explain
the situation. Might find one who will come out.

I've repaired knife stabbed evaporators in the past. Sometimes they
come back to life, sometimes there is too much water, etc, in the
system.

Regrets you had an expensive lesson.

Hi,

Seemed like a good idea at the time, but not anymore since we poked in
hole in the the freezer and heard the sound of some gas escaping. The
fridge no longer cools.

Is this fixable?

Thanks!
