    Be patient, 3 min of waiting and immediate sniveling is pretty much childish for someone with your age.
    Call your helpline for fast service.

    Be more patient, this is not a telephone help line forum.

    The only way that I know of is to destroy the chest to gain access to the coils then pressure test with nitrogen.

    Normaly they leak in the bottom of the box due to corrosion on the pipes. Remove the bottom insulation and pressurise the unit and check. 99% of the time it is not viable to repair them. It will work out cheaper in the long run to just buy a new one.
