    Definitely in Need....

    ... of more information...

    How much refrigerant was recovered from the system?

    How much refrigerant went back into the system?

    Is the new compressor an exact replacement for the old?

    Different compressors have different internal volumes, which ultimately affects the final refrigerant charge in the system.

    You need to take operating temperatures, pressures and calculate superheat and subcooling to see what's going on.

    Gather the following and let us have another look:

    System refrigerant:

    Size/model/etc:

    Outside ambient temperature:

    Condenser saturation temperature:

    Condenser outlet temperature:

    Evaporator saturation temperature:

    Evaporator outlet temperature:

    Return air temperature:

    Supply air temperature:

    Temperature of the suction line near the inlet of the compressor:
