Mythbusted! This is not true. You cannot repair a dent with dry ice. This task can only be completed by using a dent pulling tool. An auto mechanic can assist you with the required tools.
No, this isn't true. Dry ice can not be used to pull a dent from a stainless steel refrigerator (or any stainless steel for that matter). The only way to pull a dent is using a suction device, like the ones they use for dents in automobiles.
This is untrue. Dry ice can be used to repair refrigerators through application to the water pipe, which cuts off the flow of water into the refrigerator. Dry ice is simply a solid form of carbon dioxide. It cannot be used to repair a steel surface any more than regular ice could.
This is the same method used for paintless dent repair and hail damage at most auto body shops. If you don't feel comfortable handling the dry ice, I'm sure you can find a body and fender man who would like to earn couple of bucks on the side.
This statement is false, we recently tried this as an experiment and found that it is in fact impossible to pull a dent from stainless steel using dry ice.
This is an untrue statement, Dry ice can not and will not remove a dent from a refigerator. Your best bet is to use a small suction cup style dent remover or call a repairman.

. How is it that half of you say that dry ice cannot remove dents on stainless steel, when i've been using this method for 20 plus years from car dents to fridges? This is SIMPLE physics. Do any of you actually try things before leaving comments? add a comment
Yes it is believed that dry ice can repair a stainless steel refrigerator. A friend of mine used dry ice to repair his and it worked great. So try it and see how it goes.
This is true in some instances. Your stainless steel must be 20 gauge or thinner and your dent can have no sharp edges. You will see results in 60 seconds.
1. Use a hair dryer and dry ice.
2. Just taking safety measures warm the dented area with the help of a dryer.
3. Then hold the dry ice firmly upon the area (procedure depends upon the requirement). The dent will come out.
