I was recharging my 134a last night in my kitchen fridge that stopped cooling and at first overcharged, then removed some gas because i was getting frost back to the compressor.

I now have running psi at 2-3 freezer is -5f and fridge is 36f.

2 concerns

Seems like the compressor doesn't stop running. Every time I come by the fridge it's running. Right now both compartments are empty. Tonight I am going to check for frost build-up on the evap coil and check the line back to the compressor.

I used Artic Freeze Auto A/C Recharge that says "synthetic refrigerant". I was on an auto web site and all of their 134a (including this one) says not for AC powered compressors.

Did I kill my fridge by using this 134a?
