    keep in mind that gauge pressures don't tell you a whole lot about the amount of refrigerant in a system just because of the nature of gases. if you really wanna test to see if you're low on refrigerant, open all the doors to give the system an infinate cooling load and listen to the compressor. if it cycles on and off quickly, you're low on refrigerant.
