Right chaps thought id run this one past you.Recently changed compressor on a foster EMPROG600L upright freezer.Freezer has been running great for 2 weeks then over the weekend it 'broke down'.Went back to investigate today,stuck gauges on it pressure sitting around 120psi which i thought was fine,powered it back up pressure dropped to around 15psi then starting falling to around 5psi.I did doubt that there were any leaks but pressure tested anyway.Took pressure to around 350psi and monitored it for 2 hours where it fell by 5psi.checked the whole of the system for leaks with spray but was still doubtfull.Blew of the ofn and stuck it on a vac.When i shut the gauges off and switched off the pump i could actually watch the gauge go all the way back up to 0.This surely has to be moisture in the system right?Could it have ran for 2 weeks with moisture in it then run crap?If there was a leak that big i wouldve heard it never mind seen it:-).Any reply would be appreciated guys.
