Kitchen Large Electric Appliances - Old Fridge

I have an older frigde that I keep in my storage shed unused. I've stored it about 6 years now. This past Thanksgiving I needed an extra fridge so I used the one in the storage shed in and it worked great. Then a day later or so I noticed there were cracks in the plastic inside lining. They are very thin and though.

Will I be able to seal the cracks with something like silicone and use the fridge if I need to again? What would be the best way to seal the cracks? There are two cracks about 8 inches long at the most.

Thanks!

Hello: luvnaz

May be possible to use a silicone sealer. Any method has to be able to expand and contract, not leave and odor and be a product safe to use around foods.

Best place to check is the local appliance parts stores in your area. They are listed in the phone book.

Hi,
If the thermoplastic liner is cracked you can use a food grade silicone or I have seen metal hvac tape used even.

Thaaks for the help. Silicone seemed like the answer since it would be somewhat flexable yet hold the seams of the break together. They are hair line cracks anyway.
