I agree. Anytime the refrigerant system loses all of the freon , the
source of the leaking should be located(in this case the condensor was
replaced) the seals at all of the connections SHOULD be replaced and
then a vacuum pump used to draw the system down to 30 bar and let
stand to make sure there are not anymore leaks. This also evacualtes
any moisture in the system. The dryer will probably have to be
replaced in this case because it surely sounds like there is moisture
in the system. It may cost a few bucks but the repairs are worth it if
you desire a/c and who doesn't!!
