Freon is a refrigerant used in refrigerators to cool the food inside. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is harmful to the environment if released into the atmosphere. Adding Freon to a refrigerator is a task that should be performed by a qualified technician, as it requires specialized tools and knowledge.
There are several reasons why a refrigerator may need Freon added. One reason is if the refrigerator has a leak. Leaks can occur in the evaporator coils, condenser coils, or compressor. Another reason why a refrigerator may need Freon added is if the compressor is not working properly. The compressor is responsible for circulating the Freon throughout the refrigerator, and if it is not working properly, the Freon will not be able to cool the food inside the refrigerator.
