waiting to rebuild whitey!  Group: Retired Admin Posts: 15,854 Joined: 7-January 03 From: Indy Member No.: 100 Region Association: None  |
My A/C needs a recharge. I bought some refrigerant a couple years ago when my uncle was up here visiting. He had his gauges and refilled the system. I watched him do it, and remember a bit, but not all.
Can anyone give me a brief how to? this is a home, not a car system by the way. thanks in advance |

PLEASE be careful.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
I am sure your gauge set will have 3 maybe 4 hoses. Blue (low side), Red (high side), and one or two yellow (service lines). Make sure you RED valve is CLOSED when you are charging the system. Check it 2-10 times. The pressures can explode the tank/can and kill you. The tank/can gets connected to the yellow line and the blue and red get connected to the suction and discharge lines. You mentioned you were low on charge. Do you have a leak or is it just not blowing cold air. No sense adding more charge if it will just leak out agian. The charge pressures are dependent on the ambient temperature. The ones listed are a good range but if its really hot or below 70 you need to adjust the pressures some. Best of luck Kerry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
