A mini fridge dies and a humidor is born!

I'm surprised someone hasn't made a humidor out of a full size fridge yet lol.

Since temp control isn't a concern for you...this is really no different than a wine cooler. Throw a few pounds of beads in there and fill it full of boxes...and take plenty of photos for us, of course

You should check out @Tobias Lutz pipe cellar in the pipe acc thread.

I don't know why you'd bother taking the compressor out. It's not like it will gain you any room.
I'd just lop the cord off and fillerup! What you have there is basically a deluxe coolerdor.

True....However, I was planning to remove the freezer section inside so that I have more room. This would leave hard lines that need to be pulled out in order to seal everything up again wouldn't it???

Ok, didn't see that in the pic. Thought the freezer door was just the top of the fridge.
Yeah, that will leave lines and all that so you might as well pull everything out.
Be careful breaking into the system. A shot of refrigerant in the eyes can leave you blind.

Not to worried about temp control. The room it's in has all my humis in it and is the coldest room in the house at any time of year. They usually sit at 65 on their own

I've used a fake-Haier winecooler for 250 or so sticks over the last 10 years. I bought it (Sears, close out) to use in a house with no basement and a summer heat problem; had to keep the a//c running all Spring and Summer just for cigars. I fit it with an on/off temp controller so it stayed +/- 1-degree. Worked great. At the time I tried a lot of humidity strategies but a spray bottle did the job best, a few spritzes/month.

Since moving and keeping the winecoolerdor in a practically perfect basement I keep it plugged up but it rarely comes on (67*). Basement humidity hangs between 60-65 rh so, I figure, it's steadier still inside the box. No fabric, no cedar, no oasis, no beads - just cigar boxes crammed into the racks. I finally tossed the hygrometer because it stayed so steady - just pinch a cigar foot every now and then, always springy, never mushy, no mold, no bugs. No drama. No maintenance.
