Does anyone know how to recharge whirlpool gd5nhgxkq01 refrigerator?
or have a service manual?

What type freon do these units take...r134a, r12, r22, etc?

I believe you will need a licensed tech. As I recall you will need to
pull a vacuum first and I believe you need a license to buy the stuff.

First, it's usually R-22 which can't be sold to an unlicensed tech.

Second, refrigerators usually don't have service valves on them. You
have to buy clamp on piercing valves.

Third, a refrigerator is a sealed system. If it's low on refrigerant,
it's because you have a leak. If you don't fix the leak and keep
adding refrigerant, you'll end up diluting the oil and burning up the
compressor.

Ok..I answered one of my on questions, its r134a refrigerant. However
as a couple of people already pointed out there are no service ports
to be found. If I decide to replace the compressor is there a way to
make it easy to vaccum down and add new freon? (such as soldering in
a port) Last but not least how much does the system hold?
