    Mini fridge compressor lines

    I unbend this portion of the compressor and now that I think of it is this supposed to be bent sharply to cut off flow. I'm talking about the skinniest line with the big bulb on it. This forum is not letting me post pictures for some reason

    I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, but I do know that most mini-fridges aren't meant to be messed with. If it's not working, time to throw it into the ol' toxic waste dumpster and get a new one.

    Sounds like a temperature control to me.

    This is not a DIY site, but will advise you to replace rather than call a technician if it's not working.

    I put those on everything from ice machines to chillers. Even on my car air conditioner.

    The fridge is working just fine I know there is the hot line and there is the cold line and then there's another line that skinny and has a cylindrical thing attached to it. All coming from the compressor

    You obviously do not know refrigeration. So again I say. This is not a DIY site.

    In order to get into the technical section they should have a 5 question test that only techs would know and would be timed so no googling can happen.
