I saw this and thought I would try it because my dent is half the size. It's right in the middle of the frig and drives me nuts every day. I also didn't want to buy the spray because I'm too lazy to go to the store and everyone has the Corona scare. So I used the hair dryer and got the dent hot just like he did, then I took a really cold can of soda and quickly and GENTLY pressed it up against the dent and rolled it back and forth. Like you are rolling out pizza dough. It came completely out. I have another deeper dent. where my son dropped a bottle on top of the freezer portion. I'm going to try it. It's free, took 1 or 2 minutes and free. Thanks for the idea DIGIT9
@@DIGIT9 so I just did it on the deeper dent and it did nothing. So for me it really only worked on a small shallow one rather than a deep or sharp one. But hey the front looks really good.
I noticed a small ding on my new fridge door, found out someone left a lower cabinet door open and opened the fridge at the same time thus creating a dent. It’s driving me insane. 😡 I’m gonna try your method out!!
I don't know why they stopped making refrigerators with the "wrinkle look", who in the hell said " hey lets make refrigerators out of thin stainless steel that will dent very very easily" .
You have to buy the stainless steel dent remover kit. I had the same size dent on my fridge and tried the blow dryer and dust remover can method. I even heated the dent 5-6 minutes and then hit it with compressed air for 30 seconds. Nothing. 4 rounds of the same method and still nothing. Bought the the dent remover kit online and it worked.
You have to do what auto body dent repair technicians do, you have to get BEHIND the panel. They use long spoon and bent spatula type tools to push the dent out from behind by prying. They also have little punches to tap the dent back from the front side after popping it out until they get it perfectly flat. It's basically an art form when done well. When they are done you can't even tell a dent was ever there.
Paintless dent repair. Problem with getting behind the panel is you can't unless you take everything apart. Also stainless is not painted so any dings or dents that can be done Is limited to outside and less sharp Dings. Take it from a 20 year pdr tech. Don't try at home
Tried this and wouldn't recommend it. I used a crafting heat tool instead of a blow dryer. The stainless steel now bubbles out in that spot and looks kind of like a big zit. I think it's more noticeable than the small dent I was trying to fix. Ooops.
Did you try ice cube on a wet face cloth. You are trying to"shrink" the metal. A high spot can be tapped down with a flat hammer , just tapping very lightly. The problem is they have found a way to make metal so super thin it is weak.
I had three of the exact same type dents in my Samsung fridge. I used dry ice that was in a package of Omaha Steaks we received earlier today. I applied the ice directly to the dent after I heated it with a hair dryer. Held it against the dent until it was frosted around the ice, several minutes. Got same results as you. I tried it three times on two dents and twice on another.. Each dent was a little different but I saw no difference.
Their still in the freezer behind the dented stainless. I also tried to get a small dent out of the side of my car, Oddly enough it worked perfectly. I believe the metal has to be thicker than the stainless steel Samsung uses on the fridges. Got another small dent in my other car and will give it a try tomorrow if all the dry ice hasn't evaporated.
I removed a small dent on my refrigerator by ironing with a steamer. Place a thin towel over the dent surface then iron for about 15 to 20 sec and repeat as needed. Good luck!
You have to get the steel HOT!!!!! Hold the heating gun in one spot for 60 seconds... Also use a piece of dry ice big enough to cover the entire dent... hold that there for at least 90 seconds... I've done it a lot to my SS fridge.
Mine didn't... I wish I had pictures... Just make sure the dry ice is big enough to cover the entire dent and that you hold it there until frost forms... I've done it a few times just like that and it worked great...
I have never messed with this sort of thing, but you might try after applying the heat then get a thin rag and a powerful magnet , and see if that works. Just a thought.
no...because i wouldn't even think of doing this to begin with...its like me saying put peanut butter on it followed by some hot milk.....oops that doesn't work..nevermind...thanks for watching
A normal high dryer will not work. It does not produce enough heat to help pop the dent out. I used a Luff lighter that I have to start my Bayou grill. Also once it is hot apply as much of the dust removal as you can.
I thought you said the air duster was useless. I would like to try this method, but not sure if I should use the air duster or not. What were your final results and how did you get there?
Danny Alford did it work? I used the lighter with ice and it seemed to help but I think the duster or dry ice would make a difference. My dent looks almost exactly like the one in the video
Just a quick science fact It couldn’t be carbon dioxide because it shoots out a liquid once upside down and co2 sublimes so it can only be either a solid or a gas. The duster most likely contains propane or some other propellant. Good method though, I’m about to try it!
rinkovideo, thanks for your original thinking. But why heat? That would expand the metal, making the dent bigger. Use only the cold. Shrinking the metal, in the dent, would pull it straight. ... A handyman creased my old refrigerator moving it out. I'm trying to find out if the door can be taken apart to push out the dent.
On further experiments I used just heat and it took the dent out. I am working on a dent that is pretty deep. I will let you know how it goes. Well I have found out that the dir duster is useless. Gust apply enough heat and the dent should be gone.
Same happened to me too..and now I'm gonna stick a big sticker over there.. Really it's very much annoying especially when u got a new fridge and the other day u have to think what to do just to hide a dent over there.. 😢😥
Happened to me on the second day after purchasing new stainless steel fridge. Very small dent but it looks like its 5mm deep in bright sunlight under certain angles. Any suggestions? My OCD is killing me D:
I used my iron and then used one of those freezer Ice packs. Worked great. Small dents need concentrated heat; heat which a hairdryer does not give. I placed my iron onto the dent for about 30 secs and then placed ice pack onto dent. Took 4 attempts and now dent has gone.
Hi @@ibleevnu2 , yes I put the iron directly onto the refrigerator door. I switched off the steam, so that no water went onto the door. The crease has improved and is a lot smaller than before; however, I am looking to try other methods and will get back to you.
this trick will not work on stainless but will work on steel the original way was park in the direct sun on the hottest day at least 98 let the car get full sun drop on the ice pop goes the dent
I glued my dentures to the dent...Tried to really put some teeth into it. Pulled the dentures but still have the small cavity on the surface of the fridge. To appease those interested in other methods, next attempt is with a frozen bag of peas. I will first heat the door with a moist towel wrapped around a curling iron and then proceed to massage the bag of peas over the dent. Sorry I can't provide a Birds Eye view of this...
The application of the air is too wide and you cool the same area as you heat. The corner of an ice cube maybe better. You want to shrink the metal in the dish of the dent. Is the dryer hot enough??
Sooooo. I don't have a heat Gun. Rinko any luck? I just got my refrigerator and haven't even paid for them! And there is a dent. I don't know by who! 😭
My kids just dented the hell out of my brand new fridge with those stupid lazy boards!!!! I was hoping that blow dryer trick worked! Dents piss me off !!! My wife just threw her shoe at my new Fiat Abarth!!! Every time I see I dent I scream! ...YO!
you made a mistake, your wife threw her shoe at HER fiat, because your a man, and not a woman.. you drive a E55k with a Blown V8 at 500 bhp for 10k and not a silly little 17 year olds fiat ;)
What about a wide dent like um from a fist, I know its bad but I'm in a tough spot and I really want to not make my parents pay for my actions I even got a job to maybe even get a professional to fix this but that's if this fails :(
hi could tell me the precise name of air spray to be used or the contents of the air spray. I want to remove a dent in my car... I stay in India and I am not sure which air spray to buy .pls guide
shamusom no not yet but I was just thinking about it last night. I'm worried about using a heat gun because it will probably destroy the thin stainless but I'm going to give it a try anyway. I'll let you know how it works.
@@RollinRizlas I tried with a heat gun...no damage (be cautious about long and close you hold the gun on it) but it didn't really do the trick. I think I may have improved mine slightly but not perfect.
as soon as you start cooling it tap around the edge of the dent ..... it's a old school trick people used years ago on cars.... they just used a torch .... although you can't use that method now because the medal is to thin... it needs to be hotter than a blow dryer but not as hot as a torch.... heat gun
Rita again, just had another idea, if you cant live with it, metal stamp your fridge with a design, eg, fish motiff, hides the dent among design and you have a one of designer fridge ezzy peezy, problem solve, god im good, !! Now i have to take a call from trump, his got some problems too! 😉
I have a few dents in mine , thanks for the laugh , , I needed that , if you find something that works , please let me know , replacung mune would cost 900. $ , I'm broke !!!!
You probably already gotten a comment along this line, however, you made try utilizing the technique that people use to get out hail dents, etc. called "PDR" or, "Painless Dent Repair." I just learned about this today through RU-vid - you can get kits on Amazon and although there is an art to it (And to those PDR experts out there who may thrash my comment if I don't say this: to do it REALLY right (and work on almost any sort of dent) it takes a LOT of skill to get out every little last ripple) with a combination of tapping around the outer rim of the "crater" with a special tool (when/if needed) coupled with the main magic bullet being the utilizing of a hot glue gun and little round deals you glue to the center of the dent and then after it dries (about a minute-ish) with a special tool, one grabs onto the little whatchamacallit and you give it a light (or harder) PULL (depending on your dent coupled with the softness of the metal, etc. - For a refrigerator I would guess it would be a very gentle pull. So, by going back and forth with tapping certain areas/high points and then pulling again on the center etc., you can flatten out the metal. [NOTE: there is also protocol for tapping the dent from the other side if you can get to the back end of the metal but you sometimes can't]. When I get some money together, I'm going to go on to Amazon and probably buy one of the higher-rated kits and try taking out a 3" dent in my car (someone backed into my front end area). I will video record the whole procedure & I'll eventually post the video on RU-vid (my goal would be to do it before the end of 2018). My guess is in that I'm not trained, it may be far from perfect, but I can bet from what I've learned so far, that I'm going to be able to make it look a lot better than it was :-) I'd be curious to see how that PDR procedure would work with a refrigerator.
I do Paintless dent removal for a living and fix these dents quite often. No "trick" is going to fix it for you. A dent like that I usually charge $50-$75. Hire a professional
Yes Daniel I have yet to find the so called professional... have asked many people, no one has an answer other then buy a new door. Hope you find someone. @@danielweinberg3491
Ok my idea, heat it, and get a plunger like when yr toilets blocked, just a logical idea, could work , nothing to loose , good luck, rita from adelaide australia
