Fridge Peabody L42 / 2, does not cut ... and other new problems.

Hello everyone,
I have a Peabody L42 / 2 refrigerator that should be approximately 26 years old, but it always worked well.
The problem is that it does not cut the automatic, regardless of whether I set it to 1 or 7, the engine goes non-stop. Only cut if I obviously set it to 0 and then put it back between 1 and 7 and then turn it on again. Besides that in the part of the bottom it cools in zones making ice in the form of "island", not evenly in the whole plate. The freezer always freezes perfect, without any problem.
To test the temperature sensor a little, take a can of compressed air, turn it over and throw away the cold gas for 2 seconds and cut perfectly. As that is the only test I could do, the rest is left to a specialized technician and here the new problems begin.
The technician told me mainly it could be because although the refrigerator cools, it does not do it correctly and does not reach the minimum temperature, so it does not cut, so it proceeded to perform a basic service that consisted of a filter change, Recharge valve placement, complete emptying and gas refilling.
So far so good, except that since I have done that task, not only does it remain uncut, but now it makes noises that it didn't make before.
Before I just listened to the engine, now I also hear a noise like running water (up close and more than anything inside the freezer), another like dripping water and another like an empty pipe vibration, I would not know how to explain the latter.
I leave a link with two photos to have a reference and ask me everything you need to know.

Thank you very much in advance.
Regards.

It's past refrigerant gas. Disconnect it because it is returning liquid to the compressor and it will break

Excuse me but that is wrong. Look at any other equipment to see if it has that freeze. The ice has to be removed until it reaches the evaporator outlet.

NG, I'm not a technician, so I'm just telling you what he told me.
About 3 hours ago I turned off the refrigerator about 10 minutes, took out a little gas and then turned it on again. Now the ice retreated a little more. If I take more gas I could not see how far it would go. I can't disassemble the refrigerator on my own to see that.
I leave another image for you to see where it is frozen now.

Any other idea?

Ok remove it until it disappears from your sight and comment if the symptoms you observed cease. If you have a thermometer it would be good to check at what temperature it reaches inside the freezer

I'm going to take a little more gas.
I don't have a thermometer to measure negative temperature, but I can tell you that for now it is making dry ice on all the walls, ceiling and floor. That is, a very thin layer of ice that does not get wet when you run your hand. And although it is empty, the buckets I have already have completely solid ice. I only comment it as a detail, since I have no way of measuring it personally.

Well, leave it all night and just check it now. The return pipe is no longer frozen, at least the part I can see.
The rest remains the same, uncut and with several annoying noises.
It may be that the automatic is uncalibrated and therefore does not cut? As I said before, if I throw the sensor with cold gas it will cut as it should normally.
On the noise side, is it normal or is there anything that can be done?

If the refrigerator does not reach the cut-off temperature, it does not stop by thermostat. It is important that you measure the freezer down to four degrees

Those old refri came with small stars. Each means -6 degreesc. If you do not have them taking into account the years of use if it reaches between -8 to -12 it would be acceptable
If you continue with problems there will be no other option but to check the mechanical part of the compressor

Seba and the thermostat bulb, is well attached to the evaporator plate, make sure that it is well secured and with screws so that it recharges well on the evaporator plate, if you could turn the refrigerator, to see the freezer freeze, you will I would appreciate greetings

Seba I mean take pictures but with the door open to see what the freeze is like, I was wrong to tell you to turn it over, that is, you see that you took pictures but from the back, now take a photo but front with the door open , to see how much the evaporator plate frosts, greetings

Here I leave the photos of the Freezer. It's not doing any frost for now. The ice on the walls is like dry ice.

Seba that system is wrong, either the lack of refrigerant for a possible leak, it is not frosting uniformly, it is a common fault in those systems, the pressure gauges must be placed with a pinch or pinch valve, to check the pressure on the side of Go down and see how much pressure it has, but at first glance I could confirm that it is a lack of refrigerant, due to a drain in the pipes, greetings

Coolant should not be missing because they loaded 2 tubes. Moreover, I had to take him out slowly because the return was frozen.
The technician who came to carry out the load did it with the manometer and was measuring the load and keeping the pressure stable.
Obviously I will not call him again because I am not happy with his work, but unfortunately I do not know any reliable technician.

Seba the refrigerant comes out little by little, not suddenly, it can last to escape if the leak is very small, up to months, but in your case it is seen that the leak is great that little by little is running out of refrigerant, of course it demands That the technician repair it well, you are in your right to demand and tell him to look for the leak, so that he can repair it and stay well for a long time, not for a short time hehe, greetings

Seba in SUMMARY you have to look for the leak, to correct it, that the technician does not become "duck", he wanted to save the search and earn easy money, to search for the leak and repair it and now yes, do the service as it should Be, greetings and good luck.
