Hello guys ,

i have just fitted a new comp on a domestic fridge on r134a, 130g put in , what would you think is a reasonable ruuning pressure?

when i added the gas and turned compressor on , it pulled my gauge down into a vac as if i had front seated the service valve ?? its on a capillary device which coming from air con back ground i have not really worked on ,

i changed the gas dryer , could there be a blockage on the capillary when i re-inserted it ?

after re-fitting the dryer , i was getting 0.6bar low side pressure and about 12bar high side ??

any help is much appriciated

thanks alan
