The first thing I did was to remove the compressor and all of the copper tubing from the fridge. Unbolting the black protective covering off the back, I cut and immediately crimped the copper tubing. Be aware that the lines still contain freon and you should take measures to protect yourself. I recommend wearing a respirator when removing the compressor and dealing with the freon lines. You will be able to hear a hissing sound when the freon escapes. Get the cut ends crimped off and the hissing should stop.

Once the compressor is out, the fridge will be much much lighter and can be moved around easily. Continue removing the copper tubing and electrical equipment (light bulb, wiring, temperature control, etc.) from the interior of the fridge.

From here, proceed to removing ALL of the plastic and rubber from the fridge interior (including the door). This will include any shelving clips and holders, freezer compartment, moulding around the edges, etc.
