refrigerant recovery..... look for the access ports on the outside
unit...take a valve core remover...like you would use for a car or
bicycle valve stem and loosen the core to where you hear a steady
hissing......come back the next morning and push in on the stem....if
it hisses just a little bit just remove the corer completely..do this
on the big line to minimize the release of tell tale liquid
refrigerant.

If you are going to attempt this yourself...good luck...you have not
mentioned proper brazing techniques, leak testing...evacuation.....

and they call me corny................ ~:
