Precedures to recharging freon in magi chef upright freezer

You are slowly loosing the freon in the system.

you should not refill freon, first because it is illegal. second, if you need a recharge it will just leak out again. third, to do it correctly will require braising with an acetylene torch.

When you thawed it, did you remove ice from it using a metal object. That may have damaged the coils when would allow freon to leak out. This is too coincidental to be a problem itself with the compressor. The t'stat might be the problem. Try turning it off at the t'stat for a few minutes, then turn back on to the normal setting. Keep door closed for 30 minutes and check the inside and see if the walls are freezing. If not, you may have a compressor problem, or t'stat, or relay switch problem.

Has this happened suddenly? Look at the shelves to see if there is a frost line. If the shelves that also carry the Freon appear to have a frost line your freezer may have a Freon leak. If there is a Freon leak it will be better to begin looking for a replacement freezer. Let me know what you see, Thanks Sea Breeze

I the freon has leaked out, this means there is a leak in your sealed system. Unless you can find the freon leak, charging the system will do no good. It will leak out again. There are many things to cause a freezer to not freeze. Is this a "Frostless" Freezer or a "Manual Defrost"?

I did one earlier this summer. Took some pix. Check this out: Freezer recharge

The term use here is the same as saying Recharging the sealed system with Freon. The compressor is the heart of that system. Thanks, Sea Breeze

Get a saddle valve like THIS ONE. Sand down the suction line or compressor ear and attach the valve. Connect hoses to the valve and add some freon. The low side pressure should be around
5 PSI.

Probably there's a freon leak (refrigerant) that has to be fixed (remember this is a seal system and shouldn't leak)and then recharged.

Hi, first check your coils on the back and make sure they are clean, then check the cover on the front bottom and make sure it is clean. If it is all clean and still running warm then it may need to be recharged with freon. At that point you should contact a heating/cooling technician to come out and recharge your system. They are the only ones licenced to handle the freon to recharge your cooling system on the fridge.
