Thoughts on drilling through the side of a fridge

[chemman14]

I have the fridge in the linked parts list. I know that the condenser is at the bottom and the evaporator is inside the hump. I can also see lines going up the center of the back of the fridge.
In your opinion, should I be safe to drill through the side of the fridge compartment?

Thanks for any tips in advance.

I had to drill through the wall of a deep freezer. I drilled a small pilot hole, just through the metal. Poked in, carefully, a screwdriver, found no coils. I pushed the foam out of the way, then drilled with a larger bit once I was sure no coils were in the vicinity.

A little nervewracking, but it worked fine.

That model should be safe to drill through the sides. As you say the fan-cooled condenser is under the floor, and there's no door jamb heater shown, so there shouldn't be anything running in the sides...

Cheers!

Thanks, That is what I figured but wanted to get others opinions of it.
