Does anyone know how to recharge whirlpool gd5nhgxkq01 refrigerator?
or have a service manual?


What type freon do these units take...r134a, r12, r22, etc?


Ok..I answered one of my on questions, its r134a refrigerant. However
as a couple of people already pointed out there are no service ports
to be found. If I decide to replace the compressor is there a way to
make it easy to vaccum down and add new freon? (such as soldering in
a port) Last but not least how much does the system hold?


anyone have a suggestion on where to buy a replacement compressor and
average prices?




I found the compressor online for ~$180. Is this a descent price?

Whirlpool 8201558 $180.15


If you have to ask these questions, I doubt you are going to have positive
results by trying to fix it yourself. I wouldn't waste the time or money.
What happens if it doesn't work, or only works temporarily? You will have
thrown that money in the dumper.
