hi I have a modified milkshake machine converted to ice cream machine old machine but basically works I dunno the right forum but I need help it has a hopper you keep the icream in and that's set at 61psi the AX expansion valve I have it set to 18 to 16psi but my ice cream doesn't get cold enough its -6 needs to get down to -10 the sight glass shows no bubbles so has enough 502 in it but when compressor runs for a long time the entire compressor ices over 1/4 inch of ice what does that mean if no one can help what forum would be good for me

its also stoelting
