I have a problem with a commercial traulsen refrigerator. It is not keeping cool. The compressor appears to be working but the temperature jumped from 37 degrees to 68 degrees. The compressor is not particularly dirty so I figured it was possibly a freon issue. Can I replace my freon with a refrigerant from a store or do I have to have a technician do it? Is it like adding a refrigerant to a vehicle's A/C?I have a problem with a commercial traulsen refrigerator. It is not keeping cool.

There is no smell from the compressor but we did unplug it to be safe. Can we add refrigerant? My wife had the Traulsen before we got married and hadn't had it serviced since she has been here 2 yrs. ago. I was wondering if I can get a refrigerant from a dealer and put it in myself or what special equipment I need to put it in.

Check the freon level. Most likely low on that. Many other things can cause this but start there and let me know if we need to go farther.
