rheem outside comp iced, inside evap iced

Ok Duke, just because you have the name TheDuke he was my hero so I can't get in on this roast. Everyone makes mistakes, Only those who realize their mistakes and are willing to reform will succeed.In my opinion, once a mistake is discovered, it is how the company handles that mistake is more telling, than the mistake itself.

Best to de-ice those coils using just the fan.
I had a heatpump once frozen bottom half of the coil.
Put it in heat mode to de-ice and a minute or two later
the evap coil sprung a big leak. Lucky for me the owner
was standing next to me or he wouldn't have believed it.

How do you know how much freon to charge unit if you are charging on the liquid side with the unit off. Most cases when charging a system that has freon in it all ready you must charge by preasure. Mostly on the suction side with gas not liquid.

update its working great had to go back and add another 12 ounces of refrigerant.
homeowner was very happy i also picked up two of her neighbors they wanted my preventive maintenance program too.

Duke im glad it all worked out but you sorta lucked out and guessed right that it was a bit low on freon. Many times its simply an air flow prob, dirty evap, or even a compressor with weak valves going out. Then again I know how it is when youve had a long day and the mind starts getting a bit fuzzy...ive done my share of bone headed things in that instance as well...no one should be cracking on you

Duke, keep up the good work...
