Poor cooling does not automatically mean that a fridge requires gas. The same symptom can result from airflow, fan, sensor, defrost, electronic or compressor-related faults.
A sealed refrigerator should not routinely lose refrigerant. If the refrigerant level is low, there may be a leak or another sealed-system problem. We therefore assess the appliance before recommending refrigerant work.
