How could I tell? Got it at Applied as a direct replacement, so I assume the rotation is correct.
I can tell by watching the pressures that the compressor is staying engaged, and I verified it was operating by
pulling the pressure switch connection temporarily so I could hear it click off and on.
Adding more refrigerant increases the low side but does little for the high side and nothing for cooling.
I've tried it with both the recommended three 6oz cans, and with up to 5 cans, and it's no good either way, so pretty sure the charge is not the problem.
And of course I've tried two different brand new expansion valves, and blew out both the condenser and evaporator, so no blockages there.

And as an aside, I think the green color in the oil I'm seeing is almost certainly dye -- it's about the same shade
as the dye laced oil you can buy at the Duracool site. The Glacier Gold I used before was a nice cheery fluorescent yellow color,
which I found more reassuring.

thanks,

Low pressures and little cooling. Has to be lack of pumping, lack of charge or lack of restriction at expansion valve . Dumb question as new compressor---is rotation direction correct? And clutch is staying engaged?
