Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Refrigerator Repair:

Very unhealthy if it leaks?

Hi, Thanks for your great site! I wonder if you could recommend a frig for me. I am going crazy with all the choices in the store. I have a GE from years ago. I am afraid it might leak Freon (I heard even when it leaks microscopically, it is very unhealthy, in addition to all the other issues). It also makes a lot of noise. Although it does seem to still work.

You seem to be a bit misinformed. Freon is harmless to us. They still use it as a propellant to administer medicine right into asthma sufferers lungs. See "Freon Facts" back at the web site. Also there is an article, "Help for noisy refrigerators"
