One of my AC hoses is cracked and the refrigerant has leaked out. The compressor is new about a year ago.
I've order the replacement Discharge and Suction Line set. I'll probably replace the lines this weekend.
I've searched the forum for guidance; my question is this:
Will I be able to simply fill the system with refrigerant on the low pressure side or is the process more complicated i.e. drawing a vacuum like you might on a Home Air Conditioning Compressor to remove moisture, etc. prior to adding refrigerant ?
Thanks
