The low pressure was about 20 PSI before adding refrigerant. One can of refrigerant brought the pressure up to about 28. The system seemed to be running perfectly, blowing cold air. But thinking the pressure needed to be about the middle of the blue zone (35 PSI) I added more until the pressure was 35 PSI. The compressor started making noises (continuous groan) and was cycling on and off. Using the gauge hose, I bled the pressure back to about 30 PSI. The system cycling stopped but the compressor is still making a noise. Other than the noise everything seems to be working great. Should I bleed more off to quiet the compressor? Is there something else you'd suggest?
Sorry, but I don't have a high-pressure gauge. The compressor appears to turn on normally when the ac control is turned on.
