How to refill fridge coolant?

I have a Daewoo 'Frost-Free Air Flow' fridge which isn't cooling enough in both the fridge and freezer compartments. The motor constantly runs but doens't get below 'cool'.

I've been told that it's possible the coolant may need refilling. How easy it it to do this? Where would coolant be purchased from?

Thanks in advance, Lee

First, check thet the radiator is not blocked. The arrangement of pipes at the back. Leave at least a two inch gap between the radiator and the wall, to allow air flow. Secondly, if the coolant needs refilling, known as 're-gassing' then you need specialist knowledge and specialist equpment. Contact a competant engineer.
