You have a leak....not another bad compressor. Use black light and dye to find the leak, even check your Schrader valves cause they also can leak or be damaged((don't ask how I know) when you charge your system.

Don't jump to conclusions so soon, do your homework first.

I agree with Rick, Also make sure you put oil in the system.

It's where you added your Freon, the fitting you plugged the Freon can hoses to.
