- in todays video we are taking a look at how to add Freon to a refrigerator. Safety is always the most important, that is why you should Always remember to consult with your refrigerator technician. in this video a certified licensed specialist worked on the fridge. The system was empty of freon . The system was also previously vacuumed before adding freon. We added freon according to the manufacturers manual guidelines amounts .The amount shown on the gauge was not the amount administered to the fridge. The purpose of this video is for learning and knowledge purpose. knowledge is power. Safety is the number one goal.
All systems are different, our system was only filled to the low teens. that is why its important to verify with your owners manual or by calling the 1800 number on the fridge to verify your fridge exact measurement. remember you dont want to over fill it .In our case once we got frost on the tubes we released freon until it stooped frosting. is always better to under fill than to over fill. frost can be a sign of over filled. also we measured the temperature in the fridge to see if we got freezing point temperature 32f and under, (we got the temperature to the 20's because we know that when you add stuff to it and it freezes that will also get the temperature lower) remember is better to under fill than to over fill.over filling can damage your fridge. Our fridge was service by a trained professional.
here is a picture of my sticker inside the refrigerator with freon type and charge amount. so its important to verify your sticker as well

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I ruclips.net/user/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
Just came across this video, I have been teaching myself how to work on old fridges and more lately vending machines. I think this video will be key to helping me when I find cooling issues. Thank you!!
very clear and concise. Appreciate you also mention that we need to make sure to check all other stuff BEFORE working on the freon refill.
This might be the best no bullshit no filler video i have ever seen great edit to the creator or whoever did this makes me want to attempt fixing my parents fridge thats not cooling 100 percent.
Brother!!
Easy and clear instructions. The music was a nice touch. Even knew when to lower the music levels when you're talking so we can hear you. A lot of content providers put music in the video but don't lower it and sometimes you can't even hear them
Just watched with my grandson and he wants me to tell you it is a cool video. Thanks for making it.
Thanks! You can tell him he is cool for watching!
I've always thought it was a complicated job to do that thank you
Dude, you’re awesome. I like your initial checklist that narrows things down, and the clear step by step. Found and patched a small leak first, got r134a and adapter at auto shop, fixed same day! Thank you!!!
How do you find and patch the leak?
@@RogerPack He left the piecing adapter valve there. Therefore, he does not need to patch the leak.
Great video.....appreciate the level of detail and overall production quality of the video.
*Easy to assemble **Fastly.Cool*
My friend shared your link with me, and I'm glad he did! Very informative and very nice video! thank you very much my friend!
+AMERICANREBEL ! Thanks!
I have a refrigerator that the power comes on, the light comes on inside but the compressor does not engage doesn't even make a sound, what would you say that would be?
AMERICANREBEL ! I have the same issue, were you able to find the issue? Thank you!
Thank you first for the amazing video. It was very informative but didn't waste my time with a bunch of unnecessary Mumbo jumbo! I wish everyone thought like this!
+mrsyvonnenlee thanks!
Pressure too hi there
Fantastic, clear and concise, I'll definitely check out more of your videos!
Thanks for this!! I have a newer fridge that I hated to get rid of, and after checking everything else, this is the best video I've found for a do-it-yourself mom. :)
thanks!
Where can buy freon for Samsung refrigerators is the safe that used for cars
You saved our fridge! Thank you so much for putting out this step by step.
Great to hear
Awesome video! Straight to the point and indicated every single tool that's needed 👍
I just ordered this valve on Amazon for $10. I got a freezer for free since it does not completely cool. Hopefully in a few days I will have a working $10 freezer. Thank you.
Thomas Milner what's the valve calling I can't find any online
Thomas Milner Did it work?

Here is a picture of the sticker inside this particular fridge used on the video. With the information for the amount of Freon that it needs and the type. So , meaning that there can be a possibility of your fridge having that information as well, if not then calling the 1800 number on your sticker the support team will be able to provide you that information in case that your owners manuals does not have it. instagram.com/p/BWTOZ8WHSlN
Can you explain how you determined the charge required?
The picture clearly says 140psi, charged pressure applied was 38psi
@@EricLDunn Same question from me, thanks
You showed that fridge who's boss 🤙
Nice one buddy! Now I can finally stop paying for my fridge service :)
Fantastic video.. straight to the point .. all the other viedos should be like this
Thanks!
same tutorial content. thanks, the video is very useful for those who are just learning
Great job #plain and simple thankyou😇
great video straight to the point !!!
thanks!
The perfect explanation
Great video easy and concise
Terrific video! The way they should ALL be made! Your wife is one lucky gal. Thank you...Good work..
Thanks!
Well, it depends. She may not always appreciate him getting to the point in 4 minutes 😂😂 I do see a lot of comments about this method leaking. Is there a way to avoid that?
Great video and right to the point.
excellent video. I was able to save $300 from what I was quoted for a charge and now can use my car charger for it. Perfect. Just be really careful and add a little bit at first. Then wait a few hours. Must be really careful not ro overcharge. ;)
+kenjams Nice! Yes. It's just a little that the fridge needs in all. The gauge is always going to go up when charging. The waiting is good as well, bc it gives time to the freon to go around the system.
No refrigerant in the system, where did it leak out at.
Before you put refrigerant back into service you need to:
1. Put some dye refrigerant in and find that leak, or use some Co2 and pressurize it and use a gas sniffer to find the leak. You can buy a sniffer cheap at Harbor Freight or on line.
2. Seal the leak. If it's a really small leak or if it up in the box coils, you can use some stop leak and that may do the trick.
3. Pull a vacuum on the system and let it sit for an hour to make sure it has no leaks. You can rent the vacuum pump from an auto parts store, free. You put ~ $180.00 dollar equipment deposit down and you get it back when you bring the pump back.
4. Fill it with at least the recommended amount of refrigerant. Use refridgerant that has oil in it, since you don't know how much oil leaked out.
If you don't do those steps you may be back in there in a few days to a year, depending on how bad the leak is.
Also clean all the coils, as you mentioned.
Other than that good video, clean and helpful. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
A can!
💡 👍 👏
What stop leak do you use?
@@RogerPack Any of them will usually work if the leak is real slow. My leak was so slow it would take a year for it to make a difference. So it worked the first time I used it. Best Wishes and Blessings. Keith Noneya
Keith Noneya do you let the vacuum out before adding Freon. Do you put stop leak in before or after adding Freon?
Finally a useful video. Thanks
Great video for women. Very descriptive in other things to check and exactly how to put freon in the fridge. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks!
YES!YES! At last a microwave version of how to add freon to a refrigerator. Precise.Accurate. To the point. "I will follow him." lol
Extremely helpful !
+josue esquivel thanks!
Simple to the point
What an awesome video! Thank you! 🙏🏽
StatUpBox AWESOME Video Brother! Thank you!
Thanks man, that was a really helpful video
The best video on the subject!
Thanks!
for those commenting about "oh it will leak now blah blah blah ...." - this is meant as an alternative to buying an entire new unit. I have converted mine just like the video & i have to add freon about once a year for $9 bucks, vs a new refrigerator for $1000. ...so slow leak and pay 9 bucks a year or go out and buy a new refrigerator ..... you decide.
🎯 👍 💯 💡
Glad yours is working for you, but some folks like to fix things the right way, that's why.
A trick a repair man told me he uses is he has a special dye that he adds to the freon. He then later takes a backlight and the dye will show him where the leak is
@@angrycowboy7782
This is how those certified in ac refills do it.
@@michaelcrossley5661
His leaks because it wasn’t installed right.
Not everyone has the same results
good video man, good info. now I know how to install a bullet valve .
Nice!
Nice job, I love your sample my friend
Great video 👍 Thanks for sharing ❤
Great video!!!!
Thanks! Good video, no nonsense, and got to hear dat smoove jazz.
3 years later and yes that jazz is back to haunt you
great help thanks
terimakasih atas penjelasanya ....like...and share.....salam kenal ya ....
Very impressive indeed
Not surprised it’s a Fridgedaire! They used to be the best, run 40 years with no problems.
Thanks Great job
Great and to the point
tnx 4 the good video...hope you can help me with the electrolux refrigerator,,,,the ref takes too much time,,,almost a day before making ice cubes,,and the lower door takes whole day to make drinking water cold...it almost lost its cooling power,,tnx
so simple thanks
no problem
Thank you kind Sir
How do I identify the suction line? I saw a line coming out of the compressor with a port at the end. Another line connects to some kind of filter before it runs off to elsewhere. They both are quite warm to the touch, one is somewhat warmer than the other.
Thanks for the video! The gauge at the 3:35 mark, was the refrigerator plugged inwhen the gauge gave you that reading?
Good job
Thanks man!!!
this was very helpful thank you.
thanks!
also check the condenser coils at the back of the fridge (the one that get warm )for dust it can build up so much it will stop any air cooling the coils
+MN SHP (MNSHP11) Good advice!
👍 💯 🎯💡
I have a new freezer and Compressor was found defective and replaced and Freon added that freezer froze to Zero again.
Fast forward Refrigerator went on vacation a year later and temp rose to 25 in freezer and nothing blocking vents, no dust build up, all was the same.
Did my computerized fridge quit again or does it have anything to do with circuits.
Note: I did many tests unplugging for 3 minutes, lowering freezer to 6 below zero and freezer acted the same.
Thanks 4 support.
Very interesting video. Can this also be done on an A/C On a travel trailer to recharge freon?
How did you determine which copper line to pierce?
What did you use the vacuum listed in "What you need" for?
Is there a way to determine as-near-to as possible a good pressure of freon if you dont have an owners manual to begin a basis from AND the system is missing some length of cooling tube. System is a Haier mini fridge missing the ice tray.
Thanks
Nice video. To the point and all but i've been watching these videos for awhile and I think you're supposed to purge the system first. I've haven't seen much on exactly how to do that. Thanks
+deepthang thanks!
If it's completely empty, yes. But if not, you can probably just top it off
I have an older 48 inch kitchen aid. It already has a r12 connector at the top of the fridge so up to 2:31 of your videos is already done. I have bought the adapter for r134a just like yours and I have all the gauging equipment exactly like yours. I do not understand why it does not register any pressure and I can't put Freon in there. Of course when I push the needle in the adapter liquid gas comes out and the fridge is working but not working well. Just want to add some more Freon but my both gauges do not register any pressure like it's not even connected. I tried the gauges on my car ac and it shows the pressure but there the gas comes out.
Dope bro thanks
You're welcome
Did you vacuum the system? And did you fixed any leaks before adding the refrigerant?
Very nice
SIR good eve.,im here in the philippines in following your video,i have a question how to find leak in the refrigerator
?and what i have to do?thanks sir.
Hope this works. Is there no high pressure line on the refrigerators? I have manifold gauges which work for adding freon to a vehicle safely. I saw you are only using the low pressure and never messed with one of these.
Hi. What refrigerant does an industrial cold room or Freezer room require?
liked and suscribed
+BariumCobaltNitrog3n Nice!Thanks!
Will this also work for a counter top ice maker?
Hi. I am trying to recharge chest freezer and in dire need of how to figure out which is low pressure line. Do I choose colder pipe out of 2 coppers are connected to compressor?
Thank you in advance.
Where can you buy the adapter for the Metal Bullet Piercing Tap Valve?
Do I need to bleed the air out of the system using a pressure gauge and vacuum pump? Also do I need to add oil to the compressor?
Hello, 1. is "red teck 12a" the same as R134? 2. if I want to use "red teck proseal" to repair the leak, do I use the "red teck proseal" first or to add"red teck 12a" first. Thanks
Nice video
Question: With the bullet piercing tool.. When you pierced the tube, overtime have you ever experienced any leaking? Because through my experience using piercing tools, ive experienced leaking through pipes.
Those piercing valves are for initial access only. You are supposed to put them on the process tube, and remove them when you done, because they always leak. This guy is just creating more problems. There could be a restriction in the system instead of it being low on refrigerant..
Great video thanks 🇬🇧 tell me pls what pipe do u put the piercing valve on? There’s a pipe next to it that looks really short and crimped, can u put it on that one ?
You can put it on the short stubby pipe, IF it is straight enough. That's actually how the manufacturers add the R134a to a new fridge, except that they merely crimp the end, rather than putting on a valve, which would be much more helpful!
I note you did not purge air from the recharge hose before connecting it to the bullet piercing valve. Is that necessary?
wow thanks
My question is this we have a small puncture in my mini fridge freezer I heard the hissing can I use JB Weld and then add Freon?
Did you pull a vacuum on the system before recharging?
Where did u get the adapter piece from i cant find it at home depot,lowes or amazon?!?! I hooked my bullet valve up then realized i didnt have a connector
Any noncondenseables introduced?
You haven't flush the hose before recharging?
How long does it take for the refrigerator to cool off after adding the Freon
Is there a certain line to connect to low or high side
I have an LG lfxs29766s not getting cold. I have the 134a refill. As the compressor has a threaded valve for refill. But. I only have the automotive refill hose that is wrong fit. What store would carry proper frig refill line with guage.
Here's a real dinger for ya.. I thought my compressor was getting weak, frost was on my frozen stuff and the fridge was around 40F, ran all the time, so I got the kit. I was ready to recharge it tomorrow...then I found what I think IS the problem. The flapper on the ice dispenser was OPEN... I was looking for a seal leak around the door and when i got to that area i could feel a slight cool draft. Looking up, the flap wasn't entirely closed. I opened the door, a bit of frost was on the inside of the chute. I removed the tray and not running the ice maker... I made a styrofoam block fit down the chute and wedged the flap perma-closed.. Hopefully, SOLVED!
You can use the same freon did use in car?
I have a kegerator that only gets to 54 degrees F when set to 32. Could this be my issue? The top half of the internal heat exchanger gets very cold but as the loops progress it stops being cold.
What about pulling vacuum to get all the air and moisture out of the system?
The video would have been more helpful if you actually showed how much you were low on Freon, then how the gauge read when you topped it up.

To be fair, there are lots of other videos for that specific function, but all he had to do was mention it and how to do it. Point taken though. Kind of skipped that whole part, arguably the most important part. I learned already how to do this from refilling car AC.
@@amosfeldman9454 That's true and I already know how to do it too, but I'm looking from the perspective of a newbie.
@@markg6860 yep, I am that newbie!
I know how to charge my vehicles, but the fridge is a different beast. I DO have the gist of it though.
@@billyjoehodges3743 Once you have the valve tap on the fridge, it's not too difficult. What I do is add just a tiny bit of R134a over several days and watch the operation of the fridge. Fridge/freezers actually use very little refrigerant, so it's very easy to over-fill if you are not careful. (If you see any frost on the compressor's suction line, it's usually overfilled). Aside from the valve, one of the best investments I made was installing a digital thermostat on my 20yo Amana.
What size adapter your use?
My fans were working,but after adding 3n1 electric motor oil they spun 3 times faster. Solved the problem of not cold enough.
What of finding the LEAK first???? How can the system be charged prior to finding the hole? If not it will just leak out once again, right? Can pressurized air at 50+ psi be used then vacuumed out to remove moisture? Thanks.
