Using a hair dryer and dry ice

There is one effective and versatile way to eliminate the dent in the refrigerator:

• Clean the surface of dirt.
• Use a hairdryer to heat the dent for 30-60 seconds to heat up the metal. When heated, the metal will expand slightly.

Important! Do not turn on the hair dryer for maximum power, so that the metal does not overheat.

• Wrap a piece of dry ice with a soft cloth. This will protect the surface of the refrigerator from scratches during work.

Important! Put thick thick gloves on your hands, they will protect your hands from injuries when working with dry ice.

• Gently press the ice against the center of the dent and in a circular motion, drive it all over its surface. Do this for a minute.

• Instead of dry ice, you can use a jar with compressed air. In this case, after treatment with a hair dryer, holding the jar upside down, treat the area with a jet of compressed air. The dent should instantly align.
