Chosen Solution
Cleaned clogged condensor. Recovered, pulled deep vacuum from high side, h.p.charge in low side to backflush clogged drier. Re-recoverred, evacuated and charged w/ 6.5 oz R-134. Ran OK for three weeks, slightly noisy still but @ -15 deg.F. Problem returned! Suspecting oil slugging compressor and/or clogged drier. Any thoughts???? Second submision: I can’t revise question to make it any clearer! Can I get any feedback?
Hi @keithlurken, The only thing that I can suggest is to invest in the service manual, (supplier example only). I couldn’t find a free download but the service and wiring sheet is Whirlpool part # 2316852 but had no luck in finding it. It should detail the refrigerant suction and high pressure values in the sealed system. Knowing this and then measuring the pressures should tell you what is happening in the sealed system i.e where the problem may be. You will need to have the gear to access and measure it.
