Re: [DML] Loading R12 in A/C system

["Rob Hook" <robhook@xxxx>]

I agree. All he really had to do was hook up the R12 to the low pressure
side of the compressor and put the can of R12 in a bowl of warm water. That
would have raised the pressure enough (after a minute or two) to allow the
compressor to come on. Jumping the low pressure switch is also a
possibility but he should make sure there are no leaks somehow first
otherwise he'll suck air (and moisture) into the system and spend the
receiver dryer. But I still say take it somewhere else.
