Whatever you do, don't use one of those refrigerant replacement kits that they sell in the automotive stores. They use a mixture of butane and propane to approximate the characteristics of the more-or-less chemically inert gases used originally.

I am thinking about upgrading the insulation, for the usual reasons. Not sure how much was installed originally and even less sure about how I can get into the cabinetry to determine what is there now. Something internal looks a lot more feasible but not sure of source for the right product. Planning to install myself and prepared to spend some time to get it right. The original NovaKool (sp?) works fine so far but draws a fair amount of juice. Any suggestions or prior experience with this model?
