But, what was the problem, Karen?

Has Jim proven that the compressor was actually bad to begin with? Could
the same problem be what is plaguing Richard?

How does one prove a compressor good anyhow?

Applied, but no matter what I did could never get good pressure or cooling
out of it, despite changing every single part of the system (in some cases,
twice), and trying all different levels of charge with a duracool

all I'm out is the expensive hoses the new compressor ate, a case of
