Yes. The compressor is ALWAYS on. Even when I turn the controls off. I'm sure it's a faulty KLIMA or CCU. Again, the system remains pressurized.

Plugged drier. Perhaps. Monovalve is still functional. Yeah, perhaps the expansion valve. What does the pressure switch do? Could it be at fault as well?

Dang! All these options sound like I will be evacuating the system.
