Title: to much or not enough freon? Post by: Camel24hrs on December 26, 2007, 06:30:32 pm Okay, I left the hoses hooked up to my cav7-486 over the holidays and what r-12 I had in it mostly leaked out. I did not have anymore r-12 so I put in Freeze-12. Running I have a suction pressure of 20 pounds and the box is cycling on and off at 35 degrees. I have the thermostat set around 1, so I barely have it on. Sounds good but, when the compressor runs I have frost build up on the suction line and on the side of the compressor. Do I have enough Freon in it? Or do I have to much? Also it is about 40 degrees ambient temp, will that cause it to frost instead of sweat?
