    Unhappy I may have killed my Kegerator, help!!!

    Total barney move here and one I was consciously trying to avoid ironically enough.

    While switching from a 5 gallon cylinder to a 1/2 barrel, it became apparent I need to remove a significant ice formation on the cold plate(?) in the rear of the unit for the new 1/2 barrel to fit.

    I made the mistake of grabbing a screwdriver and hammer and trying to chip the ice block loose. It was on my first delicate strike that I apparently ruptured a cooling line and released all refrigerant from the system

    Does this sounds like something that can be replaced and recharged or am I now stuck with a very attractive paperweight
