    Hello. How to properly check if there is refrigerant in the refrigerator? I had a professional and unsealed the end of one tube coming out of the compressor (The one on the left side of that black "box" He saw that nothing was flying, found that there was no cooling agent. Should it be checked like that?

    In my opinion - the only indication of whether there is a refrigerant is the correct operation of the refrigerator, assuming that the unit is operational. Cutting off the end of the tube is a release of the refrigerant, unless it was not there before due to a leak in the system, then nothing will escape, because there was nothing left.

    The guy knew what he was doing, just after the symptoms, he was sure that there was no factor, and by cutting the tube he only made sure.
    Considering the above, the diagnosis is absolutely correct.

    And in my opinion, and according to the law, he behaved like paprake!
    He should wear a so-called vampire and check the pressure. Then recover the factor and weigh it. Only who does that ...
    The factor into space, the law is in force and the papery is spreading.

    Does a colleague know how much factor is in such a refrigerator?

    Having some experience, he would not write nonsense to my colleague.

    What nonsense did I write?
    I know how much refrigerant is in the refrigeration system of the refrigerator. It is enough to read the nameplate for the rest.
    And the ignorance of the law that concerns the industry does not speak well of the moderator ...

    The fact should be checked with a needle, but as he deals with such equipment on a daily basis, after symptoms he knew that it was empty there.

    PS. I know the act as well as the requirements.

    I understand, just what gave him breaking the tube when he knew there was no factor ???
    After all, assuming a vampire, although it is true to the art, allows you to introduce nitrogen and at least try to find a hole, and more.
    What if the capillary was tightly clogged and he broke the tube just after turning off the compressor?

    Ps. Adrian signed the amendment to the law. It is "not better" than the previous one, and sometimes worse ...

    Request for information to the author of the topic. What happened next ??? How this "party" ended.

    The refrigerator was cooling less and less and all the time it practically "walked" "until it practically stopped cooling. I called an insurance professional. As I wrote, he opened that tube, found that there was no refrigerant and the installation was unsealed. He found the refrigerator beyond repair. I understand that it is not profitable to repair it?

    Rather yes, because finding a leak is only half the job. Only later you can wonder if it can be repaired or replaced, for example, of the evaporator. And costs everywhere ...

    If the leak is under the foam, the refrigerator cannot be returned to its original condition. Unless in a factory. Maybe there are magicians with the right foam and you can buy an evaporator for your fridge, but I don't think it will pay off even when the compressor is ok, which I doubt when it was running empty or in air.
    If the insurance covers the purchase of a new refrigerator, then you won ... another crap, because only such are produced. Sorry, but this is our climate ...

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the proper method to check for refrigerant in a refrigerator, specifically after a professional opened a tube connected to the compressor and found no refrigerant. Participants debated the appropriateness of cutting the tube versus using a pressure gauge (vampire) to assess refrigerant levels. Some argued that cutting the tube was unnecessary and could lead to further issues, while others supported the technician's diagnosis based on symptoms. The author later revealed that the refrigerator was ultimately deemed beyond repair, raising concerns about the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of repairs, especially if leaks were present in inaccessible areas like under foam insulation.
