You recall my old robinair AC machine was giving me an error, and called local service center who wanted $180 to look at it, then parts etc. I just bought a 1 year old new machine. Messed with the old one some more and figured it had to be one of the pressure transducers. When powered on it show

I'd hope that one of the things the diagnostic will tell you is an overall condition of the machine. If they say "this thing is basically just worn out" then you can buy the other one and keep the old one for parts. On Tue, Apr 5, 2022, at 9:52 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: > This machi

If course the icing on the cake is I need to do a replacement AC compressor on my 99 later this week. I messed with the machine a bit and did a recovery on the car and the machine did not seem to vent refrigerant but claims in only recovered about a quarter of a lb. I’m pretty certain it was mor

This machine has 2 pressure transducers one for the low side and one for accumulator. When I switch the connectors between the 2 the error changes to accumulator pressure error so to me that tells me the low pressure one is bad. If I leave the connections disconnected I get no error. The bigger

If it were me and I trusted the shop I would probably pay the $180 for the diagnostic. Once you know what's wrong, you can decide whether to have them repair it, do it yourself, or replace it. Otherwise it's a careful, deliberate process of testing and elimination to figure out what is wrong an

I have a Robinair 34788 fully automatic machine that I have had for about 4 or so years now.  Nearest I can tell it is probably 10-15 years old, not sure.  Per the menu look like it has has around 2600 lbs ran thru it.  Not sure if that is a lot or not for these machines.  Anyway, last year it
