The system shows no refrigerent LBS. I hear the solinoids activating but no change in lbs ???

Filter must be change every 150LBS of recoverd refrigerant !!!

Defrosting times for the Refrigerator Method 5 lbs -
7 lbs -
10 lbs -
12 lbs -
15 lbs -
24 hours (1 day)
34 hours (1 day 10 hrs)
48 hours (2 days)
58 hours (2 days 10 hrs)
72 hours (3 days)

Check this two procedure for...

2.2L (VIN 4) Engine

1. Properly discharge the air conditioning system into a recovery/recycling machine.
2. Remove the drive belt on the vehicle.
3. Remove the air cleaner and resonator assembly.
4. Unplug the electrical connections from the compressor.
5. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
6. Unfasten, then remove and cap the A/C hose from the compressor.
   

Cap the refrigerant lines when opening the system to prevent the entry of dirt and moisture and the loss of refrigerant lubricant.

1. Loosen the A/C compressor bolts, then raise and support the vehicle.

1. Remove the compressor.
   

To install:

1. Position the compressor on the vehicle.
2. Lower the vehicle.
3. Install the compressor bolts, then tighten the front bolts to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm) and the rear bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).
4. Attach the compressor hose using NEW sealing washers. Tighten the mounting bolts to 24 ft. lbs. (33 Nm).
   

Lubricate O-rings with refrigerant oil.

1. Engage the electrical connections to the compressor.
2. Install the air cleaner and resonator assembly.
3. Install the serpentine drive belt.
4. Connect negative battery cable.
5. Evacuate and charge the system.
6. Perform a leak test on the system.

3.1L (VIN M) Engine

1. Properly discharge the air conditioning system into a recovery/recycling machine.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the serpentine drive belt.
4. Remove the front compressor bolts.
5. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
6. Remove the rear compressor bolts.

1. Unplug and cap the coupled hose assembly from the rear of the compressor.
   

Cap the refrigerant lines when opening the system to prevent the entry of dirt and moisture and the loss of refrigerant lubricant.

1. Disconnect the electrical connection at the compressor.
2. Remove the compressor from the vehicle.
   

To install:

1. Install the compressor on the vehicle, engage the electrical connection to the compressor.
2. Install the coupled hose assembly to the rear of the compressor, with NEW sealing washers. Tighten the mounting bolt to 24 ft. lbs. (33 Nm).
3. Install the rear compressor bolts. Tighten the rear bolts to 8 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Install the front compressor bolts. Tighten them to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm).
6. Install the serpentine drive belt on the vehicle.
7. Connect the negative battery cable.
8. Evacuate and charge the system.
9. Perform a leak test.

Hope this help (remember rated this).

Flip over the scale, on the back there is a black button, slide it to pounds.

low side 0 to 3 lbs
high side 90 to 125 lbs

the temp matters

90 psi suction too high possible bad valves or non condensablies in the system (AIR) what is the head pressure and what type of freon r-22 410-A? your unit is never shutting off watch out for that electric bill. and did you take apart the condenser and clean it? Tom

need to evacuate the system check the orifice tube put back together and re-vacuum system to remove the air from the system.
it's cycling to fast which means air in the system.

any air left in the system will counter any refrigerant in the system.

sounds like a sticky solinoid valve . sometime there is to much water presure in some home witch can cause this problem . chck the water presure is around 50 to 70 lbs . this may cure the problem . excesive presure can actualy hold the inlet valve open.. i hope this helps


please post feadback

there is two solinoids in the rear of the fridge one is for ice and the other for water . each has a seperate screen . also if you activate the water you should hear a click sound from the solinoid behind. the switch in the door can be mechanical or light sensor . i have changed both kinds before. hope this helps
