Air conditioner

have you added the correct amount of refregrant? to muck will give a high pressure reading.

It won't take any refrigerant, it high pressures every time we start trying to fill it. All refrigerant was removed every time a new part was put on and although it never would take any refrigerant, the line was drained every time before trying to put refrigerant in and it still high pressured as soon as we began trying to fill it.

You really need to start all over with a technician that actually has knowledge of A/C systems. Direct wiring a compressor indicates severe incompetence on the techs part. The system first needs to be totally evacuated and recharged with the correct amount of refrigerant and then analyzed as to what the problem may be using professional pressure gauges and a wiring diagram.

Thanks. The system was totally evacuated by a technician who has knowledge of A/C systems, using a professional a/c charging unit and it will not take any amount of refrigerant because as soon as you start to add refrigerant, it high pressures. The only reason it was direct wired for a short time was to see if that was the reason it wasn't taking refrigerant but it didn't solve the problem. I have read on here that if it doesn't have the proper amount of refrigerant, then the compressor won't run so since it had no refrigerant at all, that is why it wouldn't run.

There are numerous reasons for high pressure like no cooling fan, bad condenser or a restriction in the system. The technician needs to determine what is causing yours.

Thanks. That's what we can't figure out and actually has 3 technicians scratching their heads because it seems as though the system is plugged but, every part of the a/c system has been replaced, some parts 2-3 times. The cooling fan works fine.

Don't overlook the discharge hose. They have been known to flap internally.

Thank you very much for all of your help :) I'm not sure what discharge hose you're talking about but, we replaced the 2 hoses that are on the a/c system.

Just spoke with the mechanic who did all the work on the a/c and he said the discharge hose is the only part of the system he didn't replace. Thank you so much for the tip. I'm going to guess that most likely could be the problem.
