So, how do we do it? I was thinking I could stuff blankets or foam rubber around it's intake of air valve and this would over-heat it..
Is this possible, or is there a better way?

We cannot drill, or shoot ,or add water to a line.. We have to demonstrate the demise of this circulation system, (the how of it's demise,) by restricting air circulation. Period.

The (electric) refrigerator has a winding coil of tubing that feels hot to the touch when the compressior is working. It is on the back or bottom of the refrigerator and rejects heat removed from the contents of the unit. If you block the coil with foam rubber, etc. it is not good for the compressor that will now have to work too hard. It is important to keep the coil clean of dust to obtain a long operating life.

try just stuffing the freezer full of blankets and leave a 1" space at the back, that way the air can circulate, but the coldest air will return to the condenser and will help freeze it up, then take the weather stripping out of the refrigerator and turn it to it's coldest setting, so that the compressor runs continuously. There you have it. A freezer that is constantly recirculating the coldest air to a part designed to cool warmer air, and a fridge running the compressor 24/7. Smell that electric bill going up already can't you?

If you restrict the air flow over the compressor, it will over heat and cycle on its thermal protection device. (Our refrigerator fan stopped one day and the refrigerator did this for a while, but it did not fail.)
The only way I can think of to quickly destroy a refrigerator compressor is to get some liquid into it. Then it will hydraulic and possibly fail. You could do that by preventing the refrigerant from evaporating in the cooling coils. But I think there are safeguards against that happening as well. Either there is a variable restriction on the expansion valve or there is just not enough refrigerant in the system to get liquid to the compressor. Maybe if you turned it on its side to drain liquid refrigerant into the compressor...

Put a little water in the refrigerant line. When it enters the expansion valve, the water will freeze, pronto.
Water expands when it freezes and there are some tiny orifices in an expansion valve. Plus, the pump will have to work against an ice-plugged supply line.

She should be presented for completely demonstrating the clinical procedure. Many imagine that technology is defined through fulfillment, yet quite, that's in elementary words as a lot about failure. through transforming into this ultimately incorrect attempt and testing her target market with its impacts, she has eliminated a risk about the thanks to fulfill her aims the perfect way. because she had no ill purpose, there is not any favor to punish her for a miscalculation.

load it up with like 10 gallons of milk and cheese, then turn it off and wait a week. I guarantee that it will ruin that refrigerator.

Turn it upside down and plug it back in.

Tip it on its side.... I'll leave it to you to figure out why its bad to do it!
