Compressor windings shorted and 10psi on the gauges. Did a leak check. Evap coil leaking and the TXV sensing bulb just dangling there. This is a 02 Carrier Puron system.
Have any of you techs come across this mess before. I have no clue why someone would do this.
diy: we don't need no stinkin heat pump!!
