My refrigerator has stopped working for most of the time but the lights are on and sometimes it starts to work again. What is wrong with it?

Default refrigerator

Is your freezer keeping things frozen & the refrigerator part not working? Or is the whole refrigerator not working?

Default freon

There may be a problem with the refrigerant level.Ck the condenser that it isn't clogged with dust, lint, ect.

Ok I'll do that. Can I top it up with Freon myself or do I have to call in a technician for this?
