this unit is a 1.5 years old and it cuts out the external
overload....jumping out the exteral OL, the compressor runs, but you
can feel it heating up and it will eventually cut out the internal
overload. I know these units are probably not worth replacing a
compressor..
But I was wondering...is it possibly an internal problem w/ the
compressor or could it be a low freon problem causing high pressure,
and then cutting out? Is it worth putting a line tap on it to check
the pressures to see? (I don't mind 'tinkering' w/ it, but I don't
want to put any money in it)
Thanks for your advise!


Low on refrigerant causing high pressure problems?????

"but I don't want to put any money in it"

Wouldn't the tap cost money? :-)

BTW, do you hold an EPA card? If not, your not allowed to work on the sealed
system.
