Unless your freezer is either extremely old and equipped with a charging
port or is an extremely high end model and equipped with a charging port you
are probably looking at a total replacement or a package compressor unit
that comes pre -charged from the manufacturer.

Damn. I was afraid of that. Well I got the local AC guy coming out tomorrow to 
give me an estimate. I've got a sinking feeling that we'll just need to buy a 
new freezer though.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] refrigerant

2008-07-15 Thread Arthur Rizzino
Hi Robert,
I believe in most places one needs to have a license to purchase refrigerant.  
If the freezer is low on refrigerant that means that you have a leak somewhere. 
 That leak needs to be repaired or you will be throwing money away because it 
will leak out also.  
If air is mixed with refrigerant the freezer will not operate correctly.
Once the leak is fixed the freezer will need to be evacuated with a vacuum pump 
before filling with refrigerant and possibly some oil for the compressor.
