There are no indications of a leak anywhere. If I saw an oily spot

it might be a worn out compressor, but in that case it's more economical
to buy a new fridge anyway.

That's pretty conclusive low refrigerant. I'm sad to
see a refrig scrapped, "only" because of low charge.


They won't allow me to "top up" the refrigerant charge without finding
and fixing the leak, and that part is gonna cost a few hundred dollars
cuz of the requirement to evacuate the sealed system and find and fix
the leak before adding refrigerant.

Well, now I got lots of spare parts for my other fridges.

Buy a new energy star fridge. It'll pay for itself in a few years.
