Has anyone cut their fridge/freezer into one for use as a fermenter?

I have an old refridgerator and upper freezer combo divided by a shelf and it looks like there are some screws holding the shelf up. do not want to ruin what I got, but would like increase the head space. any ideas?

Don’t cut anything… If a screw or two lets it fall out… BINGO!

Should be easy unscrew. You might want to get a rack. On the bottom. Of the frigde. Because of the weight of the fermentors. Do you got a temp controller. Like inktbird. Or johnson

Can you post a picture of it? Many of the older fridges use the freezer to cool the refrigerator compartment below. I have one in our garage the I just received a replacement evaporator fan for.

Thats why I say not to cut anything… if taking screws out allows it to fall down… No refrigeration lines are incorporated in the shelf/bottom… Some old ones do just that!
