I just received a Harbor Freight flyer in the mail today. In it there is a freon leak detector for $70. Anybody have / used one? I have a freind that has a very old electronic leak detector but it i

35 years ago I started working on car air conditioning, and installed air in my house the next year. Only had my gauges, vacuum pump (just an old hermetic compressor), and soap solution. Always worke

That's odd. My old torch could easily detect leaks that would take months to bleed a system down. Of course, you had to get the hose poked pretty close to the leak, and the wait for the flame to suc

My friends electronic detector works pretty well also. It's always found leaks we couldn't pin point with the bubbles. Once we found an area to concentrate on, we could usually find the leak with the

Here's another freon-related question: My house has a 25-year-old built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator that is cooling poorly. Unfortunately Sub-Zero service people charge a lot, and new units are breatht

At 25 years old, there's no reason to call the sub zero people. There are any number of independents who can work on them. It's possible to replace the coils (probably what's leaking) and compressor.

Have you tried cleaning the condenser coils? I have a Sub Zero also and that has been the main reason for poor cooling. I also once had the problem of the defrost timer not working, which caused the

As noted, check for any other problems first. If the sight glass shows the system is still full of Freon, then it's unlikely that the gauges will show you any other problem that doesn't require open
