After putting in the super seal stop leak should the freon also be added immediately after or is there a wait time? If so how long?

This was a few years ago, but as I recall, I put the freon in immediately. I just followed the directions. I am still driving it and it is still cooling. But the last two summers I have had to add a little freon at the beginning of the "cooling season".

after I added the Super seal stop leak product, then I also added 12oz. of refrigerant since my A/C system was a little low, otherwise, I wouldn't added more needed Freon. To tell you the truth, I don't think you need to add Freon immediately after adding this stop leak product. This product actually works!!!!

I put the Freon in right away.... more than two years ago.... still working... no further Freon added since... before I used this, I was recharging the system every tow or three weeks!! This stuff works!!

Yes and put a Vacuum on it.It's just air more or less to check for leaks.It will cause you problems if you leave it in thereit's not Freon.

depends....if you do it the right way.... you are supposed to remove most of the old oil , install new filter dryer ,install new adapter fittings,purge with nitrogen, pressure test with same check for leaks at all connections if you lose pressure under test,then use vacuum pump to bring down to required vacuum with the refrigerant attached so you can release it under vacuum, this could take a good 6 hours for all of this...or you can just do the vacuum part which if there is no leaks would or should only take few hours then release refrigerant or skip that which would leave atmosphere in the system (not Ideal) then it would only take you about half hour to install...I did mine the long way and it works great. Actually I did every thing I mentioned above except remove the old oil and it works great so far...which is like 3 months of light use

I would wait 24. It is pretty wet for a sealer. Don't mess it up & take longer to fix the mess.

When the pump runs "dry" heat can build up and ruin both seals and the impeller. Now in saying that my pump has run dry for several hours and there has been no damage. I would not make a habit of that though. Prime the pump and close off the air leak and try it, chances are it will work.

With a new install you should pull the max. vacuum you can for at least 15 min. to dry the indoor unit and line set, then let it sit while checking your gauge set making sure there are no leaks half hour min. then follow instructions to release the gas from the outdoor unit again checking for leaks - I use a leak meter (a $250.00 + tool). I hope this helps if not please post agian. EK.

No this is not normal. I have had my unit going on two years and I have not experienced any smell like freon. Try some soapy water around the attachments to see if you have a leak.

I flushed the radiator and block, and started over with clean half water half antifreeze mixture and added the K Seal to the radiator. It worked that way for me. I didn't try adding to the overflow tank.

Hi Cynthia I would suggest making sure that the seal looks exactly like the one you are replacing . I had a bad experience when ordering the seal was different and the cooker now leaks a whole lott and doesn't retain pressure as well.

Chip, I had the same problem several times. I finally registered my unit on Broan's website and included my disappointment with the issue. I was contacted the next day by their customer service department with the phone # for their service department. I called them immediately, they pulled up my information and explained that they had identified the problem and it could be easily fixed with a replacement heater and fan element. The original unit did not start fast enough and would burn the thermal fuse, the new motor started faster and therefore the thermal fuse would not blow. The fuse is part of the heater element to prevent overheating. I explained to the rep that it was -7 outside and I didn't feel like going into the attic again to replace the unit. he explained that I could replace the part fromt he inside and it was a matter of 2 screws and a wire harness. It literally took me less than 1 minute to replace the part and it has worked better than the original since. My previous ones only lasted less than 2 weeks. I was very satisfied with Broan which is more than I can say about the big box store I bought it from. The # for the technical support department at 800-637-1453. That should solve the problem.

When I was researching stop leak products, I considered MRL Leak Seal. I contacted the company about their product and was told that their product was only available to certified air conditioning specialists. I couldn't find any air conditioning shop in my area that was willing to buy and install this product. As a matter of fact, very few if any of these shops will install any stop leak product. Also, MRL-3 was quite a bit more expensive.

I had the same results as the DIY Review.. It worked great the first summer, but just weeks after the warrantee ran out, interior seals started 'spurting' and caused unit to lose pressure and cycle on and off. I would say the actual use was about 25 hours. Local repair shop says it's not worth the price to fix it.. (?)KPM

What is your question?The compressor and fan run, but it does not discharge any water. This probably means the Freon has leaked out.

icould only tell you i had a hard time finding a large leak.i would tell you that the best thing you can use is dye in the system it is no mistake as to where the leak is.if you buy spendmaybe half the money.make sure it will pick up all the new freon as there are a lot of different types of freon new to the market.mostly i worked on autos and aircraft.some central air. try yellow jacket if you must have one. leak detectors are hit or miss.ok for blind spots where you cannot see dye because of obstruction. i chooseleak detecor dye using a caulking type.or just buy a cheap detector just as good. tony phila.pa. hope this helps you. icould only tell you i had a hard time finding a large leak.i would tell you that the best thing you can use is dye in the system it is no mistake as to where the leak is.if you buy spendmaybe half the money.make sure it will pick up all the new freon as there are a lot of different types of freon new to the market.mostly i worked on autos and aircraft.some central air. try yellow jacket if you must have one. leak detectors are hit or miss.ok for blind spots where you cannot see dye because of obstruction. i chooseleak detecor dye using a caulking type.or just buy a cheap detector just as... » Read More icould only tell you i had a hard time finding a large leak.i would tell you that the best thing you can use is dye in the system it is no mistake as to where the leak is.if you buy spendmaybe half the money.make sure it will pick up all the new freon as there are a lot of different types of freon new to the market.mostly i worked on autos and aircraft.some central air. try yellow jacket if you must have one. leak detectors are hit or miss.ok for blind spots where you cannot see dye because of obstruction. i chooseleak detecor dye using a caulking type.or just buy a cheap detector just as good. tony phila.pa. hope this helps you. « Show Less

No. If you have already used another stop leak product, you'll want to fully drain your radiator and put in clean antifreeze first before using Bar's. Good luck. Bar's did nothing to stop the leak in my Subaru.

While we were in there we also replaced the following:Cam SealOil Pump Seal & Crank SealThermostatYou may not need all of those seals but we had an oil leak that we needed to stop. The thermostat was sort of a no brainer though. While your in there it is only about $12 more to replace it.

If you setup and balance everything right probably less than 2 minutes or less however,you'll have some residual fluid leftover in the funnel hen done so find a pare container somewhere to put the funnel so it can drain while you wrap up\seal your containers. This residual leftover fuel may or may not filter and drain out as I've noticed when doing gasoline so, rather than wait I find a safe place\resealable container and dispose of it.
