I would not mess with the refrigerant till all other options are exhausted. The Danfoss compressor package is pretty bomb proof. The electronics that the resellers attach are less so. If you go to the danfoss website you can figure out how to bypass the electronics and wire it the way danfoss expected. This will provide you an opportunity to troubleshoot the electronics separately. I found on mine that the 2 fuse holders had bad solder connections creating a hot spot and intermittent operation. The previous year I had found the little computer fan not running on the condenser.
