Freezer Questions

[flutterby_404]

A coworker has offered me her freezer, but says that it needs freon... Anyone have any experience with having a freezer worked on? I know free is free, but I can't afford to have it taking up space if it's going to be crazy expensive to get repaired.

Also, it's just a freezer. What's the difference between a regular stand alone freezer & a deep freezer?

I dont know anything about freezers really.....
but I know that stuff stays good longer in a deep freeze than a regular freezer.... and I bought my deep freezer for about $250 at Sams club a few months ago..... that was the cheapest I found, its a decent size but not huge.(just for comparison to the cost of the freon....)

I would call an appliance place that does repairs and ask for a quote on getting the freon put in it and see how you feel about what they say.....

My concern would be WHY it needs freon. Most likely your repair bill will be for more than just the charge.
