If you use older models of Kenmore refrigerators, you have a great chance to face a freon leakage. Don’t be stressed if you meet this issue, it's possible to fix a freon leak on your own. Try to detect if your model has the leak in case it is not working correctly and the motor is continuously running. It's important to see if your motor is continuously running or not. If the motor is running non-stop or your food isn't cold, you can purchase a leak detection kit. Although you can purchase leak detection kits at many appliance repair shops, home maintenance and auto parts stores, they're also sold online. If you don't want to wait to buy a leak detector kit, then you can use a soap and spray solution. Freon leaks create small bubbles. So all you have to do is mix dish soap and a little bit of water in a spray bottle. Afterward, spray all of the piping. If your refrigerator leaks, little bubbles should appear. To prevent freon leaks, it's important not to repair appliances that you don't know how to fix. Freon leaks can occur if you pry open, puncture or cut into the tubing of your fridge. Also, if you have a habit of scraping ice out of your freezer, like most of us do, don't do it. If you scrape the ice out of the freezer incorrectly, you can damage the inside of the fridge. A leak can also be caused if you incorrectly use a pressure gauge on the tubing. If incorrectly applied, you can break the seal, which can cause leaking freon. To reduce freon leakage, invest in regular maintenance or purchase a new model. Fortunately, proper usage of an old appliance prolongs its life and provides normal efficiency.
