Ac compressor problem

Ok, did you have the system open or were you just recharging it? Was it working before?

 

You get the cam with a gauge on it. It tells you when your charged. Right? Ac has to be running for the proper gauge reading.

 

Don't worry about the weight, obviously that scale isn't accurate. I'm charging mine as we speak . Low 80's, low humidity. How much weight, I don't know. You can see it's still a bit low.

 

Now you can see head pressure has risen only 5psi, low side hasn't changed, even though I added freon, but the A/C compressor is thawing out. We're very close

 

Its possible you have a bad compressor. If you decide to change it, make sure that you replace the ac dryer and the orphus tube.
