Hi Andree, I can't offer troubleshooting advice, I'll leave it to the more knowledgeable people here- but... Be prepared, if you open that can of worms, for the possibility of great expense and problems! Between the age of the parts, and the increased (I believe) pressure of the 134a conversion, I blew apart pieces-and-hose after each new piece was replaced; each weakest link in the chain going next. I started with a broken compressor, and it went from there. $2K later it's great to have here in FL, but my savings account aches! Good Luck, mike
