    Hello everyone
    I have a transicold carrier XTC '09 and it work fine when it's not sunny or below 50' out but when its hot and sunny out won't run properly. And recently got an alarm displayed A18 and 53 too. What should i do . Does anybody have a same reefer or same problem. never gets to the set point when on the road or in rhe sun.

    Is that a high pressure code. If so clean your condenser.

    If it's fighting to stay cool plus the codes, then yes it's low on refrigerant. You need to top it off and look for a leak either by dye or a leak detector.
