well you can do this however there is some modding you have to do. You cant just stick a resavor in there and think its going to work, you need to make some holes in it and pull out the evaporator (thing that gets cold) and that is what you put in your resavor. This should be moved to the extream cooling section.

so do i purchase the evaporator seperately or is this on the fridge and i need to take it off? -------Sorry mods move this thread please.

the evaporator is a coil of copper that makes the fridge cold, I believe its located at the bottom of the fridge. You just have to cut some plastic out and pull out the evap so you can stick it in your res.

Is the evap attached to anything? BTW thanks a lot warlord2 for your help

it may be in the shape of a plate that looks like it has pipes running thorugh it

does your fridge have a freezer compartment?
