    The refrigerant in your Norcold may be a blend or azeotrope. If so, you
    can't just top it off, since a leak may allow the refrigerant to escape
    but not in proportionate amounts relative to the blend.

    I do HVAC for a living (25+ yrs.) I have all the gauges, gizmos, &
    equipment.

    I'd NEVER attempt a repair on a self-contained refrigerator. I'd toss it
    & get a new one.

    Norcold had some compressor problems with units produced around 2000, I
    have one, it wouldn't cool. I had a factory service tech do a warranty
    replacement of the compressor, it's worked fine since. Other than a
    compressor replacement, I can't think of any other justification for a
    refrigerant side repair. Controls or other electrical item, sure. But
    refrigerant, Naaah.
