 OK-- I  covered the output as soon as I plugged in the frig, pressure built up rapidly and in probably less than 30 seconds the pressure was such that it was difficult to hold the outlet closed.

I'm going to presume that suggests the system is ok and would warrant a new filter and being charged up?  I am still a bit concerned about the original problem though--primarily because the drier/filter I removed is really easy to blow through--implying it was not obstructed?

Since I can solder, have manifold gauges, and a vacuum pump, I figure I may as well try to charge it myself, especially since the original problem may still be there.  Anything to watch out for?

Thank you!
