I own a small shop in Chicago, we just had our Taylor machine serviced and he added refrigerant. Unfortunately our slushee machine isn't slushing and he's not able to touch it as a Taylor employee.

He had to run but he told me I could easily refill the refrigerant myself no problem.

I get home to start looking stuff up and it doesn't seem very simple... First off it takes r404a (which I already can't find, no I am not licensed) I'm also assuming they don't sell that in convenient tiny refills with the gauges (like a car). Nor do I know the specifics of what to do.

I'm kind of at a loss and I'm obviously going to give someone a call tomorrow. I'm just surprised he would mention so casually that its very easy for me to do it myself. Is it? Am I missing something?

Thank you!!

you can't refill it- no EPA license and no training.

what is the brand & model # of the machine?

if a unit needs refrigerant, it means there is a leak.
