My chiller doesn't chiller as well on warm days, it runs about degrees warmer than on colder days. Is this likely to be a gas issue. Not sure if this is a new thing or not as I have only recently bought a temperature monitor that loggs data.

How's the airflow around it? Does all the working need hoovering out?

Is your fridge rated for the correct climate class. Fridges have ratings for the temperature range they operate in. There should be the label somewhere with yours on it ? Google fridge climate class.

This ^^^ is the first thing to check and sort out, before you start worrying about more complex issues such as regassing. It might simply be that it needs a good clean.

Probably, I'll give that a try.

Check both the condenser and the evaporator. If safe (no electronics nearby and unit switched off and cool) they can be sprayed with a foaming cleaner, washed through with a low pressure hose, then left to dry.
If particularly dusty use compressed air but at not such a high pressure to damage the fins.
