    Sorry Matt, This is a public forum with strict rules about DIY. Get your post count up and apply for pro membership and we will be able to help in a non public area. We don't want to give any advice that could get you or someone else who is reading this hurt.

    I will give you some very good advice.

    Read this.

    Read it twice if you have to.

    Yes, we sometimes give newbies a hard time, and we try to avoid putting info out there for DIYers to use.

    We also like to have precise information in order to give you more precise help. If you tell me what the pressure gauges read and what refrigerant is in the unit, along with some temps, we have a LOT better chance of helping you rather than telling us that the gauges were 'buried'.

    Its R-22, I am definately a newbie but this is the field im going in as well, so im trying to learn all I can but this sight seeems to make it very hard. Its an old system, im basically just practicing on it. When I say the guages are buried , Im sayin the low side swings to 350psi and the high side swings to 500psi. I know this system is low on refrigerant but I dont know why im getting these readings.

    I understand that this is a public sight and you dont want people to get hurt, but how would telling me why im getting these reading get anyone hurt? i didnt ask to tell me what to do, just why is this happening?
