Good evening,

Can I have the high and low side readings of the Freon pressure to be sure the pressures are correct? It sounds like one of the sides is out of spec and may be causing the system to shut down.

The high side should be 2 times ambient temp plus 15%. The low side should be 25-30 pounds rock solid.
