Wine Cooler/Incubator

Well I'm very happy to say that I got a 20 bottle Wine cooler today with a glass door...this wine cooler is NICE! It has a built in thermometer (which i don't know if i'm going to use yet) It's already got 2 holes, one for the thermometer and one for the freon tube (I guess :confuzd:)

Anyway, i've been on the look out for a wine cooler for some time, and i'm very happy with this. I started stripping it down earlier today just to see how it all works and I know it will work out for the best, but now i have a big problem!!

I have to some how find a way to drain the freon! I've googled, I've read about it, i've done a lot but I can't find anyone around me to drain the freon...I don't wanna break any laws and cut the line, because it is pretty illegal...any suggestions for me?

have you tried contacting Lowes or Home Depot or any other business that sells appliances like that?

Take it a repair shop. They will suck it dry for ya! Congrads on your sweet inc! If you happen to accidently open the line yourself DO NOT let the freon be exposed to your skin, it will burn oh so badly :eek:

Could you not just cover the frieon tube up? And leave it in there? Or is it to dangerous?

thanks guys I will try that.

I would prefer to remove the freon because I want to plug in the wine cooler so I can see the temp...it also comes with a light on the top that gives the inside that really nice glow...

I also want to remove the freon and all the hardware for it because it will reduce the weight.

Gottcha! If you dont mind me asking..how much was the cooler? I want to find a glass door fridge but cant anywere.

I found it on Craigslist from a guy selling it for $90

I've been keeping an eye on Craigslist for about 2 months now...this guy said he had his ad up for 15 minutes when i contacted him...so you gotta jump on it quick!

I will make sure to post some pictures up this evening.
