How to Take the Freezer Part out of a Mini-Fridge

Mini-fridges are staples of dorm rooms and small apartments, allowing those without the space for a normal-sized refrigerator to keep their grocery items cool and fresh. Many mini-fridges include a small freezer compartment for ice trays and other frozen goods. If you wish to regain some of the refrigerator space taken up by the freezer compartment or have plans on re-purposing the fridge, removing the freezer is a fairly straightforward task.
