One of my neighbors decided to recycle his old fridge instead of getting rid of it: here’s what he did with it (Page 2 ) | March 7, 2025

Integrate windows for added convenience

Rather than removing the doors completely, cut a hole in each door and insert glass panes. This will allow light to pass through while still allowing the interior to be visible. Secure the panes with foam insulation, and for added safety, use a blowtorch to fuse the materials together.

Protect against unwanted intrusions

To keep out insects, attach a fine net over the air vents. This allows good air circulation while blocking pests.

The result: a practical and ecological solar dryer

Your old fridge becomes a homemade solar dryer, ideal for dehydrating fruits, vegetables, meat or fish. This simple and economical project is environmentally friendly and allows you to preserve your food in a natural way.
