The refrigerant gas is somewhat dangerous to handle - you could suffocate yourself or someone else in the room - you need to have the right tools and test equipment and must have been trained so that you know what you are doing.
Any appliance that contains refrigerant gas - such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner unit - which has developed a fault must be thoroughly checked by an expert to ensure that a) it is running safely and b) there are no leaks of refrigerant gas.
In many cases you should either call a Licensed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Technician to do this job for you. If the refrigerator is older (8 or more years) or the smaller under the counter type - it will likely be better to purchase a new one.
What year was frigidaire refrigerator model FRT18S6AW7 made?
The first method of refrigeration (cooling air by the evaporation of liquids in a vacuum) was invented in 1748 by William Cullen of the University of Glasgow, Scotland; Cullen did not apply his discovery to any practical purposes. Michael Farady, an English physicist liquefied ammonia to cause cooling (in the 1800's). Faraday's idea would eventually lead to the development of compressors, which compress gas to liquid form. The American inventor Oliver Evans designed the first refrigeration machine in 1805. In 1844, John Gorrie, an American doctor from Florida made a device based on Evans' invention that would make ice in order to cool the air for yellow fever patients.
The first electric refrigerator was invented in 1803 by Thomas Moore. The first commercial refrigerator designed to keep food cold was sold in 1911 (by the General Electric Company) and in 1913 (invented by Fred W. Wolf of Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA); these model consisted of a unit that was mounted on top of an ice box. A self-contained refrigerator (with a compressor on the bottom of the cabinet) was invented by Alfred Mellowes in 1915. Mellowes produced this refrigerator commercially (each unit was hand made), but was bought out by W.C. Durant (the president of General Motors) in 1918, who started the Frigidaire Company in order to mass-produce refrigerators in the USA.

How long should you wait to plug in new refrigerator after it has been laid on its side?
If you have bought a new refrigerator you can plug it in, set the temperature control to "normal" and switch it on as soon as you have unpacked it from its box or shipping materials! Before putting-in any food you should wait a few hours until the fridge has reached its normal working temperature.

Second CORRECT Answer:
As usual, someone just offers an answer and really doesn't do ANY research. Then accepts an answer from a salesperson as gospel! Wow, I'd like to be selling this person some land in Florida...
Ok, here's the researched answer. The Kenmore Elite model #72053 is 31 cu. ft. in size. The biggest Whirlpool Gold French Door refrigerator is 26 cu. ft. (from their website). So who makes this particular model? LG does, go to their website AND compare the model #LFX31925ST to the Kenmore Elite #72053.
This does not mean Whirlpool doesn't make Kenmore refrigerators, just NOT this model.
