I love the steamer, it has many uses for appliance repair. In addition to previously mentioned uses it is great to heat up the long plastic sleeve that supposedly slides on a cold control capillary tube. Using a little soap and sending a bit of steam in the plastic tube certainly makes sliding the sleeve on the tube much much easier.
When working in customer's fridge, not only do I sanitize my hands and wear latex gloves, but once finished, I use the steamer to quickly "decontaminate" the areas of fridge/freezer I touched. This is true, particularly after having to almost fit my entire body in the freezer to do something on an evap. Customers like that touch. Not really sure how much "decontamination" it does but it's the sizzle that sells.
Speaking of sizzle, one time the hose slipped out of my hand and the nozzle "decontaminated" some skin on my stomach. Although many extremely vulgar four lettered exclamatory words were rapidly building to a massive eruption, due to the nearness of a customer, the only word that came out was a soft spoken "ouch." Trust me when I say, a subdued "ouch" will do nothing, whatsoever, to abate the pain. So be careful.

Appliantology is, however appliances are not, an exact science for I know there are a few refrigerators that actually hate me.

BTW, I don't think I ever formally thanked GMF Kdog for the steamer recommendation. Been using it now for over two years and it is near the very top of the list of extremely useful information I've obtained from this site. Take a bow Sensei!

Love my steamer, just have to get a new one every year but worth every penny. I usually use a heat gun to get started until the steamer is ready, then between refills.
Don't really have anything at the moment

I use the Shark steam pocket portable steamer....steam is ready in 5 seconds.

It will. After you use it, you'll wonder how you ever defrosted those caked-up evaporators without it!

I use this one:
The HAAN HS-20
It is FANTASTIC. Multiple attachments, produces steam fast, long lasting, and very powerful.
