[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 212571, member: 784"] Hi Bacchus, yes you can still get the 134a refrigerant, its widely used in cheaper commercial fridges. From memory its the older R404a which is not available in australia anymore. The upside down trick may work, what you need to do is flip the fridge ove for 24hra while its switched off. This causes all the refrigerant lubricating oil that usually sits in the compressor to run down through the cooling lines and may dislodge whatever bit of gunk has gotten caught. Also its not a bad idea to get in there and give the condenser fins a good brushout with a soft paintbrush, half the time fridge temp issues are from lack of airflow caused by buildup on the condenser. Hope this helps you some. TGW [/QUOTE]
