The refrigerant commonly used in new refrigerators is R600a, also known as isobutane.
The approved refrigerant for new household refrigerators is R600a, also known as isobutane.
No, portable ice makers do not contain freon. Instead, they typically use a refrigerant like R134a or R600a, which are more environmentally friendly alternatives to freon. These refrigerants help facilitate the cooling process necessary for ice production. Always check the product specifications for the exact type of refrigerant used.

No, modern refrigerators do not use Freon as a refrigerant. Instead, they use more environmentally friendly refrigerants such as HFCs or HFOs.
It is an alternative to mostly banned CFCs (most infamous of which is R22), and to be phased out in the future HFCs (R410a, R134 and similar). That being said the general consensus is that R600a (isobutane) requires compressors/systems specifically designed for it. The most suitable HC or natural refrigerant substitute for R22 is R290, which although shunned by the industry will perfectly replace it with an efficiency increase of about 20% without any retrofitting or other adjustments.

R 12 refrigerant.
Refrigerant compaticilty is about suiting the refrigerant to your refrigerant system. Every cooling system has refrigerant in it which depends on the type of system you use. If the refrigerant not matches with your system, it wont work. This is refrigerant compatibility.
Refrigerators typically use a refrigerant called R-134a.
R600a or Isobutane is better for the environment, but it is very flammable. I don't see is ever being used in the USA. It also use up to 20% less electricity in properly designed systems compared to R12 and R134a. In other countries R600a used in small refrigerators, in small amounts of around 50 grams. R134a is being replaced in automotive use for a refrigerant called R1234yf. R134a does cause global warming and that's why the EPA wants to replace it. I don't see R134a going away anytime soon, but the new R1234yf comes at a cost. It's very expensive and when put into an 134a system the capacity will be lowered (less cooling). Right now R22 (for home A/C) is being replaced by R410a. It's better for the environment, but it's expensive. If your getting a R22 system replaced it will be a 410 system. It requires all the copper lines to be replaced. If you still have a 22 system and it needs to be worked on, then it will cost more to repair. The cost of R22 use to be $70 per 30 lbs. right now it's almost $400 per 30lbs. This cost just get passed on to the customer. It forces people to change out old systems.
It does not use Freon as a refrigerant. It uses R134 refrigerant.
