Well, I don't see one that tells you that you just need to recharge your refrigerant. Is there a procedure for this? or do you just gamble and pay a shop to recharge it? or is it a DIY job these days?
Iron Maiden, what system do you have? And, there is no code that tells you that you are low on refrigerant, if that helps.
It's the basic 1 zone setup from the first model 97'.
If there's no code for it, what is the procedure for checking and recharging the system? Can it be done DIY style or is it require special equipment???
For R134 systems, the amount of refrigerant is based on system capacity and environmental temperature at the time of filling. The proper way is using special equipment to evacuate and recharge it. Some get away with adding a can to it but you might over-charge it too. I'm not a specialist in this but in my case, I default to a professional shop when needed.

So, did you guys get this problem taken care of? I put off adding refrigerant last fall...I was looking at adding it now that it is in storage, but the temp gage on the 134 kit doesn't go to these colder outside temps. Does that mean I can only add 134 in hot weather?
