How can I subtly make a refrigerator stop working? The complex I live in was built in the 80s and this still has the original fridge in it, and every single unit I saw, including three that my friends live in, have new fridges from within the last 10 years. This thing is insanely loud, barely even keeps food cooled, and draws a crazy amount of power. I know it's a shitty thing to do but it's on it's last legs and it's a cost of maintaining an apartment complex for them to replace stuff like this.

Crank it down to as cold as it will go, then leave it open (freezer too) for a while. The motor will overheat and burn itself out trying to keep up with the thermostat.

How long will that take, roughly? The thing already chews up my power bill, I don't wanna leave it like that overnight and find it still running with an extra $80 on my power

They will just make you pay for the new one.
Or slowly increase your rent.
Classic landlord tactic.

Appliances breaking is covered under the lease, assuming it's not direct fault of the tenet (hence subtle)

OP did you say your refrigerator is running?
