Today I installed duracool in my original norcold fridge.
It was slowly getting worse and was never great since I got the coach in 2008. it was finally to the point where we bought ice just to keep the fridge cool enough. I know it has a slow leak, but I liked how it cooled fast when it did work a bit. I figured on Duracool, if I need an ounce or so a year its not a big deal.
I installed a duracool tap and used my duracool gauge to install the duracool. The duracool went in much slower than the A/C due to I'm guessing the small tap orifice. Using the gauge, I brought up the pressure to about 30psi. I noticed the condenser was getting warm all over vs before it only got warm at about the top 3"
However the cooling plate only gets down to 33F at the top of the freezer and 45F on the bottom of the freezer. I'm thinking that means I have overcharged? so I let some out twice, but no change.
Ideas?
