Ok, that helps.So we go from here. If you open the freezer do you hear the fan running. It may be a soft sound but hearable. Ok, that helps.So we go from here. If you open the freezer do you hear the fan running. It may be a soft sound but hearable.

Second, do you see any ice build up on the back wall of the freezer compartment? You probably have one of the following problems: A failed defrost system, meaning the defrost timer and/or element has gone out and your evaporator coil is frozen over; you are low on freon and this too will cause your evap coil to freeze over until the freon drops so low all cooling stops; or there could be a clog in the capillary tube which is the very small diamiter copper tube that carries the condensed liquid freon to the evap coil. Unless you have gauges, a licence to buy freon and service valves (or a buddy with such) you are limited to what you can do. Here is my advice:1. unplug the frig and let it defrose over night, unplug the frig and empty the freezer to remove the back cover to look for ice, a frozen fan and if so get your hair dryer out and melt the ice so you can test the fan and the defrost element (you will need a volt/ohm meter to do the element check. You can do it. Second, do you see any ice build up on the back wall of the freezer compartment?

Hi steve , thanks for your help, after my last msg to you on sunday the comp was cool after it had been on a hour it got warm. As for ice there is none as it has been turned of for a week, so there is no sign of freezing nor fridge cooling the temps are both saying 20.!!!!!! Very frustrating.

For the comp to get warm is ok. I suspect you have lost your freon charge. For the comp to get warm is ok. I suspect you have lost your freon charge.

Find a refrigeration friend to put service taps on and measure/recharge the frig. I recomend adding sealant. Find a refrigeration friend to put service taps on and measure/recharge the frig. I recomend adding sealant.

No. R134a is still a current use refrigerant and its cheap! No. R134a is still a current use refrigerant and its cheap!

This is whats called a "Blend" refrigerant and at most you will need a pound of it at about $30 This is whats called a "Blend" refrigerant and at most you will need a pound of it at about $30

Is this what you mean to re gas it ? i think it says on the badge somewhere there's 90g . Is this what you mean to re gas it ? i think it says on the badge somewhere there's 90g .

Never heard the term re-gas. It is called recharging atleast when you use the same refrigerant. It is not necessary to use anything else but R134a. Never heard the term re-gas. It is called recharging atleast when you use the same refrigerant. It is not necessary to use anything else but R134a.
