Being impatient as I am, I was defrosting my small fridge and using a screwdriver to chip off the ice on the small freezer section when I poked a hole in it. I've since soldered and repaired the hole, but now am wondering if it is possible to replace the freon that leaked out after being punctured. I turned it back on after doing the repair, but turned all the way up after about 2 hours there was very little difference in the temperature inside the box.

I agree on the price to charge one. I don't think it would be worth it because it would have to be checked for leaks before they charged it and you'll get charged for that too. I don't think it would ruin it by running it without freon though. If it was out of freon the compressor should not have kicked in.

they can be but it would cost almost the price of a new unit. if you ran the compressor with no freon, the chances that it is ruined is very good.
