My Samsung fridge was not cooling properly. Both fridge and freezer fans were working. Not iced up (common issue). Temp sensors reading correctly. Using my thermal imager I could see the frost line stopped at the beginning of the freezer evaporator. No 3-way valve on my fridge. It needs freon.Sure the proper way is to braze in new fittings, find the leak, fix, vac it down, and recharge..... Or I could buy this kit and swing by the autoparts store to get a can of R134a and the blue recharge hose adapter. (This kit comes with a R12 can fitting so you need the adapter to hook up to the R134a cans.) Clean the low pressure return line with steel wool/sand paper and install. (Low pressure is the colder line off the compressor. The high side is the hot line running to the condenser in the back.) The easiest way to gauge pressure is to have the fridge running and watch the frost line on the freezer evaporator. Once pressures settle down you will probably start with suction or around zero psi on the low side. Add some freon and watch the frost line. You will see on the freezer evaporator where the frost stops developing. Keep adding freon until the frost line reaches the end of the coil. (Or if you have a thermal imager you can see it really easily). It took me about 3 oz to top mine off and my end reading was 3 psi. If you are over 10 psi and/or the frost line is almost back to the compressor you have overfilled.

Worked perfect! Will be using it in the future when needed. Great quality! Fit and sprayed perfectly.

I thought maybe this thing would leak or not work. Installed it pretty easy and charged the system. No problems at all.

R134a cans are now self sealing which will require an additional adapter that I purchased from the auto parts store for $4.00 (picture attached). Other than that, this kit worked great to recharge my ice maker.

It worked very well. Gave it 4 stars because it will not work with today's R134a cans. You will need to buy an adaptor that "connects standard piercing-style rechargeable hoses to SELF-SEALING CANS. Otherwise, you will not be able to get R134a out of the can. You can get the adaptor at any auto parts store for under $5. Good value!

17 year old refrigerator was pulling 12+ amps with a rated maximum of 6.1 amp's. I guessed it was running low on Freon. Used this to add 1 can of Freon and amp draw is down to under 2 amps. It will pay for itself in just a few days. Im pretty good with automation ac systems but this was too easy. Way better than buying a new fridge.

It works well, it does what it's suppose to do.

I've never attempted to tap into a sealed refrigeration system. Figured what could I lose, doesn't work. The kit was easy to use, instructions adequate, o-ring seal looked like the proper material to stand up to refrigerant and pressure. All working great for 1 month now. I still don't know why it leaked in the first place, but now I have some time to find out.
