There is no regassing as such, if it has a leak then it wont work at all.If the gases have leaked then its most likely better to replace the fridge rather than repair.
Some times a bit of rust/scale can block the tubes, the old trick is to take the fridge out & roll it around a few times turn it upside down for a while & retry unit.
If its a caravan fridge then you mat wish to have a look at this/ go to the search window & enter( who has put 12volt fans on fridges).posted by Blaze.
Then also enter ( some test results are in on fridge insulation). Posted by myself.
Mine is now working extremly well after to modifaction.

If you go for a Dometic one, don't get one of the round fronted ones. They are not T climate rated.
