My 8 yr old Whirlpool refrigerator was low on gas and had to be recharged. The problem is that there are no access plugs to the closed system. The technician showed me where they pinched the lines shut and he said it's not uncommon for over time the gas to leak out.
For him to cut the low pressure line, install an access valve by brazing (the proper way to do it), and refill the fridge with gas he charged me $189 which took almost an hour (I asked him a lot of questions so it probably could have taken less time). He also brazed shut the high pressure line where it was pinched closed to hopefully reduce the chance of it getting low again.
You do not recharge coolant, you replace it. If you are referring to refrigerant in the A/C unit, then first you need to have the leak repaired. It would not need recharging unless it is leaking. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system that is leaking without repairing the leak. This is a job for a professional with the proper tools and knowledge. This is not a DIY repair. The cost depends on where the leak is.
About 0.1 kW for a kitchen fridge.
AnswerAssuming it is R-22 which retails for about $5/ lb. and a system capacity of less than 6# with a service call less than $100, about $130. What I would suggest though, is to get your leak fixed. You should not ever have to recharge a system unless it has a leak.

you add coolant untill it is full ?
The Freon to recharge your automobiles air conditioning system will cost less than $10. The cost to have a professional recharge your system will be around $50. A do-it-yourself recharge kit will cost approximately $15.
The amount of coolant it will take to fill your vehicle is dependent upon how low the coolant level is. You can add coolant to your coolant reservoir. The reservoir will have an indicator of when the coolant system is full.
which one? low coolant or ECT?
