So it was a slow day at work in the restaurant, all the prep was done and we were nearing close. With some extra time on my hands I decided to clean and reorganize the walk in freezer. We've had a long problem with condensation on the radiator and forming ice which had to be dealt with. The normal defrost program wasn't gonna cut it anymore so I went and got one of the dull kitchen knives that we barely use and started stabbing the big block of ice with relative success. Nothing could possibly go wrong as long as I hit in between the radiator sheets right? Well my stupid ass forgot about the cooling elements in between those sheets and punctured a hole in one of them it and now its leaking refrigerator gas all over the kitchen and it doesn't smell good at all. I fucked up, huge.
A waitress immediately call the boss and we let him know of the situation, I take responsibility and me and the dishie try to close up as soon as we can. We try to vent as much as possible for any fresh air as this gas is denser and will push any air away. I feel dizzy as we move all the important items from the big freezer and cram them into the smaller freezer in hope of salvaging any items to the the coming work nights as I'm 99% sure the radiator block has to get replaced with a new one. We shut off the freezer, close for the night early and part ways as this is nothing that can't be dealt with until tomorrow morning anyway. I just hope that a new radiator isn't too much of a dent in the budget and this can be solved quickly. In hindsight I shouldn't have tried stabbing it, grabbing a heavier meat cleaver and whacked at it instead.
TL;DR: Don't defrost the radiator in the walk in freezer by stabbing it. You might hit something important.
