Knowing the Fridge gas that's used will help a lot when getting a leccy machine topped up. Some Fridgies will do a full evacuation & vacume test for leaks before they add new Gas. I've been trying for ages to do my F Gas & never had the time, but one day I'll do it. I've been fann.ing around with heatpumps for years, so have a little knowledge of refrigeration.
