Oil starvation is one possibility. The refrigerant is what transports the compressor oil through the system - an insufficient amount of refrigerant won't properly transport the oil, and it'll starve the compressor of lubricating oil. And insufficient amount of compressor oil in the first place could also be a cause, especially if you're charging a dry system. If you did add oil, did you spill any on the compressor? Because I've seen that cause what you're describing, as well.
What else can I help you with?
Do you have to have car running when applying freon to ford focus?
Yes, in order for the compressor to take on the new coolant and oil charge the compressor ideally should be running. It is posiible to begin charging the system with freon prior to compressor initiation, however to get an accurate reading of the pressure in the system the compressor should be cycling with differential valve operating properly. If it is clogged or the compressor is not cycling then then low side reading will give an elevated pressure while charging the system. Does that make sense?
How do you add freon to 1994 Volvo 850?
To add Freon to a 1994 Volvo 850 you will need to buy 4 cans of Arctic Ice and one can of blue dye. Use the spray can nozzle to attach to the air conditioning compressor and add the Freon. I am a certified auto AC tech and would not recommend putting 4 cans of Freon in a car AC system all at once. If you do not have gauges then put one can of Freon (refrigerant) in at a time. Have the air conditioner turned up on high, the car running and begin adding the Freon while shaking the can. When the compressor kicks on ( you should hear the compressor click on) you should almost be finished. If the compressor cycles in and out quickly this means you need more Freon. If the compressor clicks on and runs for a minute or 2 then put no more Freon in the system.
On a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird how do you get the ac compressor to turn while adding a can of 134a?
If the A/C system is empty the compressor will not turn until you get enough refrigerant in it. Just turn on the A/C and hook up your can of freon. Once the freon starts filling the system the A/C clutch will engage.
How do you put freon in an air conditioner?
To put freon in an air conditioner, you need to locate the service valve on the unit, connect a charging hose to the valve, and slowly add the freon into the system while monitoring the pressure levels. It is important to follow safety guidelines and regulations when handling freon.
How do I add freon to my AC unit?
To add freon to your AC unit, you need to locate the service valve on the unit, connect a charging hose to the valve, and slowly add the freon while monitoring the pressure levels. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when adding freon to your AC unit.
Your AC blow only warm air It is a 2000 Xterra Also while it is blowing it makes a whining noise?
If the compressor is running, the blower is blowing, and there's no cold air, you need freon. If the whining is from under the hood, the compressor may be damaged. That's what happens when running without freon.
I have 2006 ford 500 need to know where to put a jumper wire on the airconditionercompresor pressure switch to make air conditioner compressor run while charging with R Freon?
You can either identify the relay which goes to the compressor clutch and run a jumper from either the 30 or 86 post to the 87 post, or you can unplug the low pressure sensor and jump the wire between the posts in the plug. I have to question this method, especially since you really don't want to be running that system when it's dry. If I've ever had to run the AC during charging, it was always towards the end of the charge, and it might need to pull some vacuum to help get the last few ounces of refrigerant into the system... the refrigerant carries the PAG oil which lubricates the compressor, and that's why you'd never want to run that system dry.

When Changing your car's ac compressor how do you isolate the compressor so you dont have to discharge the whole system?
Shops use a freon recovery system that contains the freon while the system gets worked on. The system has to be cleaned and vaccumed properly to remove trash and moisture or it will fail again or even not function properly.
What causes headlights to dim while driving?
Your battery is weak, or your your alternator is not charging battery.
What causes an air conditioner blow out air but not cold?
Generally this is the result of either the compressor not running (just the fan is running) or, more commonly, the freon level is low due to a leak in the sealed system, so the compressor runs but is not able to cool. You can usually hear the sound of the compressor starting if there is low freon, while there will be just the sound of the fan but no deeper 'growl' of the compressor when there are any other problems. It is usually not cost effective in small relatively inexpensive window air conditioners to have someone fix either of these problems due to high labor costs, replacement of the entire unit is recommended.
How to add freon to an AC system?
To add freon to an AC system, you need to locate the service valves on the unit, connect a charging hose to the low-pressure valve, and slowly add the correct amount of freon while the AC is running. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when adding freon to an AC system.
