Our refrigerator got compressor replaced in Feb. Now it's not working

Literally? It means it's time to buy a new refer, ya cheap bitch.
LOL

that's what I'll do

At the temperatures used for welding, copper would melt. Brazing is used,
and soldering.

I have never heard of a Freiburg leak, and neither has Google. Google
doesn't say what "whole coil" means, either. It may be a newer
technology. I doubt if it could be retrofitted to the fridge
economically. I agree that a new fridge would be the answer.

[My 1980's model car still has CFC air conditioning. CFC can be put back
IF it is available. A changeover would mean a whole new unit, not
worthwhile on such an old auto.]

Doug, these wannabe handydudes don't know **** from Shinola.
LOL
