How to refill R134 Freon - Amana 19.7 cu. ft. / 558 liter Upright Freezer Deepfreeze AFU2004AW

Unless you have a lot of expensive refrigeration tools and a license to recover and buy freon, then you need a serviceman.

The rust shouldn't make any difference.

When you plug it in, does the interior light turn on? If not, suspect the wall outlet - test it for power by plugging in something else. If the interior light turns on, listen very closely to the freezer. It should hum. If it doesn't, toy with the freezer control inside - it may just be turned off. Turn it to about midpoint and listen very closely to it again. If still no hum, wait a short while, then feel carefully on the outside of the cabinet - it may be running through a defrost cycle. The outside of the cabinet may get warm while that's happening, especially around the door gaskets. Wait a while (half an hour, an hour, for the defrost cycle to finish - the freezer should run then.

If it never hums, then the compressor isn't running, so adding freon won't make any difference. Instead, suspect the defrost timer - that's a little electronic circuit board inside.

If it HUMS but never gets COLD, then you potentially have a freon leakage problem. It's difficult at best, though, to refill a refrigerator or freezer - they don't usually have refill taps.

Oh, yes. If the internal light never comes on but you've proven that the wall outlet has power, it's entirely possible that the plug is bad and needs to be redone.

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.

Hi, if you have turned the freezer to the coldest and the food is not freezing then you are lacking freon in the compressor.
You need to refill the compressor, besides the freezer is 5 years old.

Take care

Hi,

The symptoms you are describing are typically from a refrigerant (freon) leak. Unfortunately it will be as simple as adding new refrigerant as it will just leak out. The leak will need to be repaired. From my experience with this unit my best guess is that the evaporator coils would need replaced. An average repair cost for this type of repair would be around $400.00.

I hope this helps.

Most of the time the compressor reads left to right Start common run. Black is common red is run the other one may vary in color. Rus
