Damn bob, I haven't seen charging ports on consumer fridges since humans walked upright.

Clean under and behind the grill to get rid of any dog hair, cob webs and so on. Usually if a fridge is running almost nonstop and it still isn't cooling down it's a bad sign. It is losing Freon usually through the compressor. You can replace a compressor, but that is a pretty expensive item. And most people don't have the tools required. First you have to be able to solder the new compressor back in the system. Then you have to have access to a vacuum pump to evacuate the system. It will need to run in the area of 45 minutes minimum to get rid of any moisture that may have found its way in. And that will happen just from humidity alone. But more so, because you will have to let the existing Freon out. That will create condensation in the tubes. If you can do all that, and have access to refrigeration gauges to refill the system, then it might be worth a try. ----- Original Message ----- From: Donnie Parrett To: Handy Man Blind Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 9:18 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Refrigerator Problem We have a refrigerator that has a two foot by three foot freezer on top. We have had it for about 22 years. The refrigerator and the freezer are not getting as cold as they used too. Also, it seems to be running non stop. Is there something that we can do to remedy the problem? Or, is it just time for us to go ahead and replace it? This is the first problem that we have had out of it in 22 years.
