it is cooling the freezer to about 5 degrees but the fresh food nouns is only about 50
HVAC Tech.: Your mullion is probably blocked with ice. The mullion is the alleyway for air from the freezer to the refrigerator. Could be "mullion heater" is burned out. Or "defrost timer " has quit. Or someone changed the cooler/warmer setting for the refrigerator. After 10 yrs. I'd deduce you'd want a new one. With the system still welded shut how could the freon catch out? If it did that would mean rust has eat into it making it NOT worth repair..but yes it could be recharged. however that is the least plausible cause of your problem. Yes the repairman can sweat a schroder valve where on earth needed.However it is 10yr.s old so it is probably weak valve on your compressor and adding more freon won't help.Then in attendance is the cost.The freezer should be 0 degrees.
Sounds like a dirty condenser or a bad condenser aficionado. Pull the plate of the front of the frig at the bottom. I'll bet it's full of hair, lint and fuzz balls. You inevitability a slim brush to get in at hand. You can buy a condenser cleaner brush for about $6.00.
Make sure that the condenser fan at the backbone behind the condenser is running when the compressor is running. If not the fan is doomed to failure.
Freon does not go bad. A tapline spout would be used to charge it but its a critical charge a you could very easily blow the compressor by over charging.
I almost know by what u read aloud its a dirty condenser. 30 yrs expierence.
Answers: you can own LINE TAP FITTNGS installed so it can be recharged
May be your thermostat
