Possible Causes

Refrigerant leak in evaporator or tubing, Restricted capillary tube, Weak compressor, Faulty low pressure switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself. This requires specialized tools and certification.

What you can do:

  • Visual inspection: Look for oily residue on tubing, evaporator, or around braze joints, which can indicate a leak.
  • Check frost pattern: If accessible, observe the evaporator plate. A partial frost pattern can indicate low charge or restriction.
  • Call a technician: An EPA-certified technician must locate leaks, repair them, evacuate, and recharge the system to Arktic specifications.
