Hole in my condensor/radiator

MelloYello · 05-01-2012, 06:48 PM

Originally, I thought it must be the compressor since it wasn't kicking on when I hit the button. They said that if the pressure goes low enough a safety mechanism prevents the compressor from turning on and damaging the system. I agree it sounds like I lost freon, but would you take their word at just simply putting in a new condenser? It couldn't be leaking from some place else maybe or due to a faulty seal on something? Forgive my ignorance, I'm no mechanic. $1400 is a good chunk of change. I just want to be sure we're not throwing darts with a blindfold on. Could be I'm just paranoid of dealers. In short, you'd just suck it up and let them do the work? Thanks.
