Did you replace all the refrigerant that went "POOF" into the atmosphere when you opened the system?

There is a rigorous procedure for doing this, which includes thoroughly flushing the system (then flushing it again), introducing a measured amount of lubricating oil into the refrigerant circuit that is compatible with the refrigerant you plan to use, pulling a complete vacuum in the refrigerant circuit, and introducing a properly measured amount of refrigerant.

Some details omitted.....
