just need to find out how much freon is needed
And that is the main problem. My dad's a hvac commerial tech and he won't even help me with mine. From what I remember him telling me, our hobby chillers take very little refrigerant, so you actually need to weigh out the amount you're putting in by putting the freon bottle on a scale.

Is the unit sort of working or not cooling at all? If it's partially cooling, you may have a problem with leaky valves on the compressor. If it's not cooling at all, then it's possible you've lost your freon charge.
