The model number does not look correct. Kenmore numbers are usually all numerals XXX.XXXXXX please check it. [COLOR="Blue"]I Put 8 12oz Cans Of R134 In Compessor And Still Not Cooling Dont No How Much Of R134a To Put In Compressor Its Not Over Charged Because Compressor Not Making Noise.[/COLOR] If the cans keep emptying into the unit then I would say you have a pretty large leak somewhere, that is a fair amount of freon. Why did you add freon to start with? Was there any frost at all on the evaporator coils? If there was no frost at all then you are out of freon (empty) OR there is a plug in the sealed system OR the compressor is toast. Just because the compressor does not make any abnormal noises does not mean that the sealed system?compressor is OK. You cannot just add freon, the only way I know of reliably filling/checking a sealed system is to hook up a set of gauges. It may be time to get in a pro. Here is some info that you may find useful https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/3d8fb64d39b18f32852573e900690488/$FILE/8178688%20%28Sealed%20System%29.pdf |

[COLOR="Blue"]could it be the mother board gone bad. [/COLOR] I doubt it as most units are either on or off and you said the compressor is running. Some newer units use an inverter and the compressor is always on but at low rpm.
[COLOR="Blue"]i tried to find it but have no idea were it is at.[/COLOR] I cannot say as I cannot find any info using the given model number. |
