Freon can in the fridge was just a not so great attempt to do what the commercial A/C guys sometimes do. On a hot day when the A/C guys are adding freon to a system the temperatures and pressures reach an equilibrium where the gas doesn't transfer as fast or not at all. Lowering the temperature of their freon cannister by putting it in a bucket of cool water, wrap it with a wet towel, or put it on ice will change the temperature and hence the pressure enough to get it flowing better into the a/c.
With the short fill hose, I had to hold the freon can right above the exhaust manifold and it gets hot pretty quick. A little time in the fridge helped transfer a little freon but I probably should have used the freezer. Instructions on the can also mention wrapping a wet rag around it.
Of course the right way to do it is to pull all the freon out, check the system to see if it will hold a vacuum, then refill it weighing in the proper amount. The reason I bled some off was to see how it reacted in case I was over filling it.
