Well, I finally got the compressor to come on and when I added just a little Freon (probably a few ounces) the low side went up and never came back down to normal operating pressures(went to 80 psi). The high side, after the compressor came on, was running about 190 psi. While running, before I added any Freon, the gauges read 55 psi low side and the high side would go from 100 to 190 psi and then back down. The compressor never cycled off at any point. When I turned everything off, the pressure on the high side came down to about 60 and the high side stayed at 80 psi. Temperature outside is about 60-65 degrees F here. I think it either has a blockage or the compressor is shot. Opinion?
