Re: Regassing my fridge. Why cant a garage do it??Or can they??

refrigeration and aircon units are charged by weight of refrigrant, not pressure, which changes according to operating conditions, so you need to know the charge weight and type of gas. I have seen a small Waeco unit that took 19 grammes of R123a, which is a commonly used gas in automotive a/c systems. If your fridge has lost its gas, you will need to find why, car a/c looses its gas through the rubber hoses in the system, but fridges dont have rubber hoses, so leaks must be from somewhere else.

hope this helps
