"In warranty. Customer states that the refrigerator is not cooling. When I started to remove the compressor, I noticed there was absolutely no gas in the system. I pressurize the system up to 250 psi with nitrogen and the pressures did not diminish. I evacuate the system and it held without raising up. It seems that the system was not charged at the factory. , I replaced the dryer and recharge the system unit tested OK; used 1 W11109499 (Drier) from stock"

Overall it was great communication from requesting a service call to the repair man arriving. Only negative is that the repair man set the refrigerator to extreme cold causing a soda can to explode a few days later. Not why? Since it was a freezer problem
