Fixing refrigerator that not cooling enough by recharging R-134a Freon DIY

In the summer of 2015, my 13 years old fridge started to not cool enough. So I decided to fix this problem. I did not know what was the main reason for this failure, so I checked many websites as well as youtube videos. What I found was that I needed to check many possibilities for this failure. I cleaned the fridge from bottom to top, then replaced the main control board as well as an ice-making unit, etc... None of those worked for me. Then further research, I suspected R-134a ( AKA Freon) thing. So I decided to recharge it. I bought 3 tools. You can buy them from Amazon.

1)Johnsen's (6312) R-134a A/C Refrigerant - 12 oz.

2)Supco BPV31 Bullet Piercing Valve

3)Enviro-Safe R12/R22 Can Tap with Gauge - R-134a Can to R-12/R-22 Port

4) Additional and helpful tools ( I did not use them in this video )
(1)Freon Leak Detector

(2)Cliplight Super Seal Advanced 947KIT

For me, this was the first time to recharge R-134a, so my work in the video was kind of in fear and trembling, and made many mistakes.

The needle of the gauge pointed at around or less 5 psi during the recharging, and keep recharging very slow speed.

In case if you want to buy a new refrigerator instead of DIY work, get it now from Amazon ( 4 stars & Up
