I'd recommend calling an appliance professional to evacuate the coolant. Attempting this yourself can cause health problems, but also can release the coolant into the environment. Neither is good.
The gas present in the middle space of refrigerators is usually a refrigerant such as Freon or a more environmentally friendly alternative. This gas is compressed and expanded in a continuous cycle to transfer heat and keep the inside of the refrigerator cool.

Refrigerators typically contain a refrigerant gas like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). These gases undergo a cycle of compression and expansion to remove heat from inside the fridge.
The gas commonly used in refrigerators is called refrigerant, with some of the most common types being chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These gases help in the heat transfer process that allows refrigerators to cool and maintain low temperatures inside.

Refrigerators can release freon.
Yes, older refrigerators may contain freon, which is a type of refrigerant used for cooling. However, newer refrigerators use more environmentally friendly refrigerants.
CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons, which is the gas used in old refrigerators.
freon?
Most people own top freezer refrigerators. Only upper and middle-upper class people usually have side by side refrigerators.
Most refrigerators use a coolant called freon.
Freon gas is used in refrigerators, air conditioners, ovens and all other types of these things.
