Domestic fridge alas now not longer with us.
hi Aiyub,
Dash it all,
I had not considered the possibility that qualified and experienced techies' from across the planet, would even consider a service call to Queensland, Australia, to sort out this up-right domestic freezer.
Nor did it occur to me that you guys might be considering holidaying in this sunburnt country, and that my place could be a stop- over.
I do apologise for dumping the item of such curiosity and intrigue and in the process destroying your excuse for a visit down under.

Oil logging is revealed by low evap approach coupled with normal to low superheat, with a few other things to be eliminated first. Of course, in this case the approach would be identical to the TD.
Given an accurate description and a full set of temperature measurements, troubleshooting is a piece of cake, even at a distance. Given insufficient information, it becomes a lot more difficult. We are reduced from knowing what's wrong to guessing what's wrong. Guessing is unprofessional.

It is an older model domestic frezzer.
The door seal is suspect at the top hinge corner.
Before purchasing a replacement seal, then finding out that it was a waste of money. I would like to narrow the odds of a succesfull fix.
I would appreciate help.
thanks
freezing just outside compressor will hapen about 30seconds after start up but should disapear, if it persists it is overcharged but not enough to matter.

Maybe and maybe.
Re: pipe freezing just outside the compressor
Check the fridge box door gasket entire circumference to see if it has a good tight seal, sounds like air may be escaping.
