<\/a>Click for huuuuge…<\/center><\/p>\n

In an hour of running as a test tonight, the line gained 5mm of frost<\/a> on the outside of it. I guess it must be pretty humid out there. Anyway, in case you care, this<\/a> is how the line is supposed to look when the compressor is on or off.<\/p>\n So, someone is coming by tomorrow afternoon to take a look at things, and then I’ll see how they are going. I just hope it doesn’t cost too much… I believe the leak is coming from the valves (large nut-like things you see in the picture) so perhaps the repair person can swap the seals.<\/p>\n It really bothers me that I can’t do this work myself. I don’t have any of the tools, nor do I have the refrigerant. I’m really, really tempted to learn how to refill the system and purchase some R-22 and a gauge set off of eBay, just to save some money…<\/p>\n Ah well.<\/p>\n Oh, I made some lemon ginger sun tea<\/a> today because it’s easy and tasty. Now I just need to wait for the ice to finish hardening in the freezer.<\/p>\n UPDATE: I seem to have found this site<\/a> on troubleshooting A\/C issues, and the appropriate tool on eBay<\/a>.
