You must have gone mental in the '80's when that anti-persperant you were spraying onto yourself was full of the stuff!!!!

How easy is it to 'selectivly quote' the information that fits your issue, but doesn't address the issue stated!

Go Away! lern tu rede an unperstund.

For goodness sake, get a brain and learn to spell! Ozone has never been used as a refrigerant or in aerosols. I fail to see how your post addresses "the issue stated" in any way!

Go away and grow up.

The r134 refrigerant liquid, is compressed, and turned into gas, then condensed back to liquid. That's how refrideration works. If it's 'gurgling', then there is air in the system, which indicates a leak, which indicates it's leaking ozone to the atmosphere, regardless of what fools state, ozone was used in aerosols until recently, until being banned. It isn't going to kill you anytime soon.

Gurgling does not mean you have a leak, lots of fridges and freezers gurgle when running it usually means the person has only just started listening closer to the fridge as there may be a problem with it.
In this recent hot weather fridges and freezers are gonna stay on longer trying too cool things down as they dont have the thickness of insulation needed for the tropical weather.

If the food inside the fridge is still cool then the additional heat may just be from the compressor running a lot more in this weather, i would just wait and see what happens when the weather cools down.
You may then find the compressor switches off more as its not working so hard to cool things.

Before going down the complicated route why not have a look at the back of the fridge.
Unplug it first then give everywhere a good brush / hoover out.
Clean all the fins grills etc.
The turn it back on.
The cause of many refrigeration problems is a lack of maintenance
I'm afraid.
Cheapest option as well !!

Actually the fact is that cooling devices, ie fridges work BETTER at WARM temperatures than cold. People that put fridges in their garage, cold don't work.

The 'gurgle' indicates air in the gas system. Whatever. Just my opinion.
