Your suction pressure is to high, try 5psi and the frost should go away, my have to go to 4psi. System is very sensistive
Worked on a fridg 5.62ozs 5lb suction pressure = -2 degrees in the evaporator compartment after 24hrs

Is this a different refrigerator you are working on now? Are you charging people money to work on their fridges, and asking us how to do it?

If you are trying to service refrigeration equipment without the basic tools; Guages, a scale (or charging glass), and a good thermometer, I suggest you step aside and let qualified people earn a living!

If you are fixing your own fridge, then follow the advice you have already been given. Asking the same question a different way is not likely to get you a different answer!

It's only a shock if your not expecting it!

Sunday Shock Therpy and Jo98 explained how to read the refrigerent pressure verses temperature. If you don't have the equipment and don't have the experance to chrage by pressure and temp to get your results then you need to call a tech. Sorry we can't help

Are you converting the fridge over from R-12?

If not you can look on the name plate to find the correct charge.
If you don't have scales will need to get the refirdgent to like -5 or -10 to pull the freezer compartment down to at least -2 to keep ice cream. You should be down to around 1 or 2 lbs on the low side of the gauges to do this.

With refridgeration in a household unit you need a good vacuum and weight the charge. They are very sensitive becauce you are dealing with a few ozs of refridgerent to begin with.

Go to the Du Pont web sight and they have the conversion charts there
