"Customer says that the fridge stopped cooling. Compressor and fans are working, so he knows power is supplied. Tech plugged basement fridge into the outlet and compressor and fans immediately power on. Tech monitored and noticed a hollow sound coming from the compressor. Compressor is consuming .5a and no heat exchange is occurring after 5 minutes. Sealed system failure has occurred, likely due to a refrigerant leak as system stopped cooling entirely, over night. Checked owners manual and documents to see what the warranty is, as the fridge was manufactured in 09/2021. Warranty states that the machine has a 1yr warranty on all issues. 2-5 years of sealed system coverage exists if the model were a side by side or French door, but the fridge is unfortunately a top mount freezer. Tech explained to the customer his findings and confirmation of refrigerant related failure. Customer declined quote for repair. Job is complete."

Tech arrived and pulled fridge. Temperstures mimick an inefficient compressor as cooling is occurring but not properly. Placed guages onto access ports and found low side in a deep vacuum (-12) and high side at 210. Low side leak appears to have occurred and pulled contamination into the system. Dye checked using an infrared flash light and found the fresh food evaporator leaking. Evacuated remaining refrigerant from the system and installed a new fresh food evaporator. Replaced compressor and drier to reduce failure that could occur from contamination in the system. Plugged fridge into electrical outlet and let the compressor pump the system down to verify that the system is working as intended. Compressor pulled system to 1630 microns and tech used vacuum pump to pull down to 1000. Recharged system with 4.76oz of 134a and monitored operations. System is back to cooling and pressures are steady. Job is complete.

"Cuetomer says that the CHE error code is now displayed and cooling is not proper. Tech measured temperstures at 41 in the fridge and 21 in the freezer. CHE error is displayed. Pulled fridge and found the compressor suction line encased in ice. Connected guages and found pressures around 5 and 45, which is higher low side pressure than expected. Tech evacuated charge and placed vacuum pump on the system. After 8 minutes, pressures are down to 1100 microns. Closed ports and let system rest. Vacuum rises to 1400 and stays steady with less than 1 micron increase every 30 seconds. Tech recharged system with 1.9oz and pressures are now -7 and 50. Monitored for 15 minutes and suction line is no longer developing frost or ice. Job is complete."
