This question is ambiguous in that it does not provide enough information. It should also be noted that the information you are lacking in the question is also the information that would provide its own answer. There are, for general purposes, 5 (five) types of freon, and they are NOT interchangeable (in most cases). * R-5 normally used for refrigerators and freezers (old usage) * R-12 normally used for old car AC's (Federal license required) * R-22 normally used for home AC, both window and central (Federal license required) * R-134 used in new car systems * R-410 used in new home AC systems As a general statement the number indicates a 'weight' of the freon in use and improper use could lead to explosions. So, until you know what type of freon you have, and the type your 'fridge' takes, then NO it will not work. NOTE: Weights of freon is a general statement, properly it indicates the thermal properties of the gas in state changes. Also, certain freon's as noted above require a Federal License to own, possess, buy, and use - it is a felony to posess this substance without a license.
