I hate to say but if it has 30 psi on the low side the compressor is bad. If it were low on gas or restricted it would be in a vacuum (below 0 psi). The pressure on the low side should be around 0 psi. For more on do-it-yourself appliance repair visit Appliance Repair Guide For All Major Home Appliances

Ok, that makes more sense its either low on gas or the capillary tube is stopped up. On some of those old models it was very common for the capillary tube to stop up and the compressor had to be replace to fix it. It is very hard to tell if its low on gas or the cap tube is stopped up. Note that if it’s low on gas you need to find and repair the leak or it will just be a temporary repair job.
The low side pressure with the compressor running should be like 0-5 psi.
