Answer 1

You should be able to tell if the compressor is running.

If that's running you should hear the sound of refrigerant flowing through the evaporator.

The only thing to maintain is the coils in back if they are not built into the cabinet.

The cost of a repair for a leak is usually more than half the cost of the unit and a defective compressor would cost more than the whole unit for repair.

Answer 2

if you have only had it for a year, check the warrenty to see if it is still covered.  if you purchased it new, there is something very wrong.  good luck

Answer 3

Freon is no longer in production, it is harmful to the enviroment.
