    I see a lot of these people breaking down microwaves the magnetron and the Transformers. Most people don't understand that you can get radiation poisoning from the magnetron itself. And the capacitor still hold a high charge on them if you're not careful it will zap you. I have been Zapped before I am a appliance technician I fix all appliances

    If you peel the back of the fridge off (only takes a few minutes, some have screws) you will get a copper line that runs from compressor to the aluminium rad. Also compressor has copper in it if you want to take apart, it's kinda tough if you don't have the right tools. I have a stihl saw but a big grinder will work as well (try one and then you can decide if it's worth it). They pay a different price for compressors around here 10 cent per pound, so check what steel price is and take off or leave on depending on what pays more

    DUDE. You dont know how to scrap SAFELY. in your other video, you showed us how to scrap a microwave without acknowledging the fact that you couldve been killed by the electrical charge still present in the capacitor(not inlcluding the magnetron which can cause cancer). Now you are scrapping a fridge without evacuating it of Freon-which is released when the copper tubing is cut-which is dangerous if inhaled or contacted with the skin. BE SAFE AND DO MORE RESEARCH, BUD'!

    You are actually incorrect too. Copper is a better conductor (one type of heat transfer), but aluminum is a better radiator(another type) due to lower density. Metal cost has to do with scarcity and other uses such as retrieval costs, how it machines, and its durability. That's why gold is so expensive, not because of its conductive properties.
