Sounds like it's to to call a service tech out.
It could have failed or actually be in a low pressure condition.

Not very much for Refrigeration. Easier ways to check box temp. Superheat is more important, IMHO.

Your talking to techs, lighten up. We are not allowed to give troubleshooting advice. Call another company to get a second opinion.

You need to call a licensed contractor to look over your system. DIY troubleshooting advice is not allowed in this area of the forum.

OK, maybe 15' if I include my height. If it rains that hard I pack up and leave. Fortunately I'm a supermarket tech.

My personal experience with Testo has been very positive, even when I dropped them from 10' and cracked the screen.

"pump down" or evacuation of a system is based on a micron gauge reading, typically 500 microns (or less), and not time. Time has no meaning when pulling a vacuum on a system.
