Pull it back from the wall and crimp some of the radiator tubing in the back? Assuming it's old enough to have them.

Fuck off Tommy go do your homework

>>1108739
if this is your parents or roommates fridge, kill yourself

No, he probity wants a new fridge and wants to make his landlord foot the bill, as long as he can brake it without anyone figuring out that he did it.

>>1108773
You mean break.

But no, /diy/ isn't to sabotage things.

put blocks of cheese in front of the vents until it freezes up, call landlord to fix it every time until he gets annoyed and replaces it.

Isn't it bad to turn a fridge upside down or some shit?

There's this thing in the civilized world called a lease

Sabotage of property pretty well breaks the lease.
Civilized people don't do it.

Appliance repair guy here, Honestly giving this a good minute or two of consideration and unless you have a few transformers around I can't think of any easy way to severely fuck up a fridge that any half decent tech would recognize as abnormal... any time I've run into broken tubing it was either rubbing against something or corroded to hell... no real easy way to simulate that.... only thing I think you could do that might not be detectable is if you had some way to put a shitload of power into the compressor coils in the wrong manner... in theory if you overload the insulation on the coils and they start grounding out or outright fry then they'd have to replace the compressor which is pretty unlikely that they'd sink that much money into any used unit...


But seriously fuck you for wanting to do this... also remember if your working with high voltage wet your hands with cooking spray to insulate them from the wire and make sure that you strip back a lot of bare wire so you can easily connect it to the existing compressor..

There's also this thing called a landlord who'll wait a day to make sure that it won't fix itself, then when he finally shows up after your food rots, will give you a sexy grin and say "it seems cool to me, it's fine!" and go away without doing anything.

But those landlords also have to be cool if you're late with the rent. Just don't expect anything to get fixed!

Not giving freebies to scammers. However.

Google how to fix a fridge.

Do the opposite of that.

Unplug it. Duct tape the cord underneath the fridge. They'll never look under there.

>>1108793
wives tale, actually

>>1108958
If you have kept the fridge in an odd position turn it upright for a few hours before plugging it in. Otherwise there is excess wear on the compressor because of lesser amounts of lubrication.

>>1108739
I'll actually tell you.

>get microwave
>unscrew it
>reveal the insides
>be very careful
>discharge the capacitor
>unplug transformer secondary and primary
>remove power cord from microwave
>reconnect power cord to primary when the transformer's out
>connect transformer's secondary output to fridge's compressor input
>plug the transformer in for 30 seconds, a light show will happen, but if it's set aflame turn it off
>put transformer back into microwave and reseal microwave
>tell landlord that the fridge randomly failed and started smoking and sparking so you unplugged it

Discombobulate the thermostat

Dont do this. It makes nerves gas

Could you leave it opened and wrapped the compressor with a fire blanket? I imagine that would burn it out quickly enough.
