Is there any difference between the plain auto R134a and R134a used in the 2000 year Kenmore refrigerator model 596.58642890? If it is different where can I buy a small can of appliance grade R134a ?

I would take this one. Do you have the Evacuation Pump to suck out the air and moisture first?

You want to read this slowly... and all the way through...

Most likely R134a...

but there is a reason the vehicles are REQUIRED to post the refrigerant under the hood...

Because mixing REFRIGERANTS can be a very costly mistake.

Look for the refrigerant type under the hood...!!

It might be different.

no --it cannot. R12 gas operates at a far lower pressure that r134a so if you want to use r134a gas you will have to replace compressor ,evaporator and condenser and have a cooling fan for the condenser fitted

Not sure I understand. R134a is the refrigerant. So what else are you adding? The best solution is to find the leak and repair it. Leaks will continually become worse. Your system may not hold anything anymore. However having to much refrigerant will overcharge the system and not allow it to cool. All systems hold different amounts, there should be a sticker under the hood that tells you how many pounds the system holds.

Hi,

Different connections but this is the same freon.

Good Luck

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

Thats not a model number, thats the type of freon the machine uses

Well, if the a/c doesn't work, the smell will be different, because the evaporator (cold) isn't taking the water out of the air. It will smell as if you had just a vent and might smell a little bit mildewy.

Check the charge of r134a in the system, or just go ahead and attempt to charge it with a can of r134a refrigerant and a hose with an a/c quick connector attached available from your local auto parts store or even Walmart.

Follow the instructions and you might be able to have cold air coming out of the vents in a few minutes.

Hopefully, you do not have a fast leak that will let the r134a escape to the atmosphere.

Otherwise, it may be an electrical fuse blown somewhere.

Good luck to you.

it is the same refrigerant however the car industry and the refrigeration industries purity standards ARE NOT the same!! as a rule refrigerant manufactured under the refer standard can be used for auto but not the reverse, you can use it but be forewarned chances are you will be replacing the compressor due to an electrical burn out

It's not defrosting properly, make sure the circulating fan is working and the frezzer is not iced up.

Hi: You didn't give me the complete model number. Not to worry though. Look at the model number tag of the freezer. If it's a newer model it will use R134A coolant. The tag will tell you the amount of refrigerant and the type. I hope this helps, Jeff.
