Jeremy, after the line and new filter drier is put in the high pressure side and silver soldered make sure the unit is placed in absolute vacuum for 30 to 60 minutes. It's critical that all air and moisture is remove and the charge applied on low side with out a single air bubble put back in. You may need some on hands help on this solution to get the cooler working properly, Thanks Sea Breeze
Your welcome, Jeremy
Yes you will have to pull it down again. First get the freon out and put the drier in the high side with the---> arrow pointing away from compressor. Then pull a long vacuum. Close low side on guage and leave the gauges for 15 Min's.(Turn off vacuum pump after you insure guages are tight) Look to see if air is leaking back into the cooler ( If guage is losing vacuum or leak in weld). If not pull another vacuum and close knob on guage low side and purge the center charge line with freon as you connect to the gauges. Open low side valve and slowly charge from low side until correct charge.Make sure high side knob and seals are good in charging lines all valves are tight and closed as not to allow outside air to enter cooler lines or the charge.
*(note)The smaller the capillary tube the more perfect the vacuum must be! Always replace or install filter drier on an opened system! Correct amount of freon in charge! Now, I hope this gets you going, Sea Breeze

I just puchased this item. It has been running for 3 days and the cans are only cool. The bottom row is a little cooler, but definitely not chilled.
The cooler does not cool
