yea....thats the word i was looking for....

it might have a leak, or not have thecorrect refrigerant charge

You can get insulation from places like home depot and lowes..

There is no point fixing the insulation until you get the unit working right. I would take it back to the place that fixed if and ask WTF. Bring a PS and stuff so you can power the unit up and show them it doesn't work. My guess would also be that the refregerent isn't as it should be.

alright...im gunna try to get it recharged......this was some guy who came to my store fix my fridge....and i asked him to but he wouldn't be he thought he would have to go to my house to fix and they don't do residental.....and i was like ill pay to do it...ur boss dont have to know about it and ill bring it to you here at the store...then he said yea....he fixed the pipe that was broken in almost half....and put some R134.......i paid him $60 to fix it....then he left now it would be impossible to find him but who cares.....ill try to get it fix again with someone else......but thanks for the inputs guys.....

when you get it regases get it gases this time with r404a you will get way betta temps
r134a boils around -26c where as r404a boils above -45c (cant rember exact temps but you get the point)
make sure they do it under load on the pc for best performace

404a runs a lot hotter than 134a and its only mater of -10c or so....but then again -10 c more
