Your air conditioning system is low on gas, in which case you can refill your air conditioning system with Alaska Refrigerant.
Your air conditioning leaks and is empty. Use our leak sealing product to seal the system first before adding Alaska Refrigerant air conditioner gas.
Rarely, but the air conditioning system fails and requires professional servicing. In this case, do not use our product, contact your service centre.
Turn on the air conditioning with the engine running. If you hear a small click and or the engine speed changes, the compressor is running.
If the compressor is working, it is likely that the air conditioner is low on gas. After reading the pressure, use Alaska Refrigerant’s product.
If the compressor does not work, this may be due to a lack of pressure or low pressure. To confirm this, use the clock gauge included in your Alaska Refrigerant measuring kit.
The Alaska Refrigerant hose and pressure gauge clock can be used to check the pressure in your system. The first step is to close the valve on the cylinder.
Connect the pressure gauge tube to the vehicle’s low-pressure filling point. There are two ports and the gauge is only connected to the low pressure port.
If you need assistance in identifying the location of the connectors on your vehicle, please contact our customer service.
Hold the plastic ring back, then insert the connector into the low pressure port and release the ring. You should hear a click when the connection is made.
Start the engine and set the air conditioning to the coldest setting. Use the recirculation option and leave all vents open at the maximum fan speed. Once you have completed the steps, read the pressure of the air conditioning system.
Select the appropriate bottle (a refill kit or a leak-tight bottle) and carefully screw it onto the tube with the gauge. Screw it on tightly! Do not puncture the cylinder!
Start the engine and set the air conditioner to the coolest setting, with the fan at full speed or in automatic mode.
Find a low-pressure filling point for your vehicle. Hold the plastic ring back, then insert the connector into the low pressure port and release the ring. You should hear a click when the connection is made.
Turn the bottle upside down and slowly open the tap to fill the contents of the bottle into the air conditioning system, IMPORTANT! to monitor the pressure gauge continuously and stop when the correct value is reached.
When the cylinder is empty and/or has reached the correct pressure, close the valve to close the cylinder. Turn off the vehicle engine and disconnect the hose from the vehicle.
Start your vehicle and check the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system. Wait 10 minutes and check the pressure again. If necessary, contact our customer service for further instructions.
