It depends where the leak is and what kind of equipment you can get your hands on. You'll also need to identify what type of gas your fridge takes. If you don't know anyone that works in the fridge industry, and I'm assuming you don't and thats whay you're asking, it will work out more expensive to fix the leak than it would to replace it.
