I have a 19 year old 18 cf Kenmore/Frigidaire fridge. We bought at Sears Outlet store and it would not cool. Repairman came and found that freon lines were plugged up and he got them cleared and recharged it and it has worked great since then.....19 years.
I recently found that freezer was cold but not fridge.....coils were frozen over......heater checked out ok and after replacing defrost timer and thermostat on the coils, got that resolved.
But the temp in the fridge will not go below 43 and the freezer will not get colder than 24. I checked the thermostat with the thermocouple tube in the fridge and it checks ok......I bypassed it and temps did not get any cooler.
So I suspect compressor may need a little freon.
I have attached pix of the ports the repairman added 19 years ago and I am thinking I can use the port on the line that was used to add freon at the factory to add a little freon....can anyone tell me if I can use that port?
Thanks for reading!
