    How do I Recharge-----



    Is it possible for me, a newby with the basic knowledge, to recharge an upright freezer. It uses 134a with the low side at 120psi. The pump runs but the unit doesn't get cold. Just what do I need to do, other that call a repairman.
    Thanks, jack

    I agree with mr cool, looking at the pt card, it gives me around 98 degrees, if you are in Texas I can believe the ambient for a non running compressor, but if your not that warm, the compressor is running, your in trouble, the running motor is heating up the can, but not pumping anything.

    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
