Add some refrigerant to it, depending on how much the system holds, or if no data plate guess at it, then check out other stuff IMO. Week compressors, bad head masters are the most common problems I...
Ya never know, the oil deal really doesn't match up, 134 likes the poly oil and 22 is used mostly with min.oil. It may work, ya never know, seen many r-12 coolers with 134 in them with the old oil...

I don't think what I'm tellen ya is the prob,but,if the unit started life out having 502 then 404 probably isnt the best drop in,408 IMO would work better as far as oil compatability and all,404...

Maintence jobs suck,imagine putting a toilet lid on at 4 in the morning,ya what the hell is this?
Why change the 134 to 404,that 134 will get ya beer colder than it can stand with the right temp control,but the defrost system is what will be the job.
Budlight does the trick,ice cold.Ive tried a few other brands they didn't get it.
Why does it matter folks,I tell the customer the deal,I make the same for changing used as I get for putting a new one in,no big deal if it quits,its there baby and ya might get to put a new one on...

Good job on passing the test.I was wondering is this something you need to practice,for I know different states have different laws as far as refrigeration and heating and cooling goes.
