I'm thinking about recharging my 17 yo window a/c as it blows cool, but no longer cold. I believe system is r22 refrigerant, anyone successfully refilling with r134a? It is an old a/c so this an attempt at a cheap fix to an inevitable replacement. It...

As far as cold weather performance, I'm now disappointed. I tested it today with both the car and the just-charged powerall cold, at -15°C (5F). It doesn't work. But there could be something wrong with mine and maybe it's not fully charged. While charging, it stayed at the 3-led level for 4 hrs. So I dis/reconnected charger, and suddenly it goes to 5 leds and stops. Something's weird.

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!!

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

do not understand how oil relates to refrigerant in your question. this product replaces older refrigerant no,longer available because it was harmful to the environment. engine oil is not part of air conditioning system. unless your a/c system requires recharging, you do not need this product.

There are several heaters and depending upon the model/serial number the wattage will vary. The best thing to do is call Norcold Customer Services with your model and serial number and if you know the cooling unit number even better. It is located in the back of the fridge and you can see it from outside the coach/trailer. They will give you the correct part number for your unit - then order it on line via Amazon or E bay and save a bundle. It is not an easy job replacing it as the old unit is usually rusted in place- good luck. I accomplished the job and it works fine.

inconvenienced: Sorry to hear of your problems. Did you buy from Amazon? Maybe they will help. Amazon has been very helpful when I have problems with their goods.I wrote Whynter last year about Warranty or Guarantee and never even got a reply! That was enough red light for me.The double tube units are the only ones to buy - but ONLY if there is provision for the unit to offload condensate automatically - and dependibly. My Fujitronics was great until the pump failed. It was then that I found that Fujitronics doesn't respond to requests for help. And doesn't have parts lists. And doesn't sell parts!There is room for a good portable airconditioner. For sure.Maybe someone knows of and can recommend one. inconvenienced: Sorry to hear of your problems.

The fittings of R-134a recharger with gauge is made of metal, it may fit metallic outlet of cooling system in your car. I think it may help you.

The AC works just as it did before I installed it. My two cents worth: even when my Honda Accord was fairly new, the temperature was never totally consistent in the car when the AC was running. The temperature in the car would vary slightly...a little warmer, then a little colder, then the temp would be what I set it at, etc. Not HUGE swings in temps but hopefully you get the picture. Like I say, the AC didn't work any differently after I installed this unit.

I can only vouch that it works well for R134 and R12. I haven't tried it with any thing else.Manufacturer claims it works with all refrigerants to varying degrees.

I had mine installed by a handiman. He took off the front and removed it from the casing. Installed the casing first and the. Slid the unit into it. Very good a/c. Very quiet. Enjoy!

Sorry don't know the answer to your question... I am only using it for our A/C.

I don't see a problem if it is a typical R-type refrigerant (R22/410/134 etc..) I believe things get a bit more specific when dealing with recyclers.. but this unit is recovery only. Of course, device specific adapters will have to be purchased or modified to connect the machine to the refrigerator.

I purged the system, in the information about super freeze it states do not mix refrigerants . It works well but service it very slow, it does not use as much as Freon 22.

Worked great on ours, we are waiting now for the factory parts to arrive.fridge is in the garage running fine for a week, temp is 30 in fridge and 0 in freezer. Web pros say it's not good to leave it on due to stress on compressor.

If the cars Ac system requires r12 refrigerant, and not 134a thus refrigerant will work, Although I would change the drier if applicable !
