I have a 1956 GE Wall mounted refrigerator freezer combo that was updated in 1966. The freezer cools to zero but the fridge is cooling but not cold enough. Anyone have experience in troubleshooting this updated model? Can’t find a repairman in the area who still works on closed systems.

It has a low Freon charge and has a least a slight leak, it would be best to top it off with real  F-12 and see how long it works, I would not try retrofitting a newer refrigerant it it.

Thanks

It’s my wife’s dream kitchen. She found it on Craig’s list and we retrofitted it for the space. I’ll try charging it and let you know how it turns out. Thanks.

You will probably only need 4-6 ounces of R-12, there is a built-in charging port on these GE refs but it might be hard to find the GE charging adapter unless you find a guy that works on pre 2000 GE refs.
