So originally if compressor is The Refrigerator in the freezer were extremely extremely hot and they both were not working properly I cleaned out the condenser coils and I’ve recommended that they shut the machine off for some period of time to cool the compressor is off they have done that.
Now after doing that the refrigerator compressor is working fine however the freezer section is only Cooling as if it is a refrigerator also they have mentioned that the compressor is making noise I do see that someone has replaced the start relay on the compressor with a 3in1 before I go back there I would like to know what the temperature the high and the low and how to check it on the compressor should be and how to refill it with Freon if it needs

Hello
If its a model #532 series it will be a refrigerant R12 or (Hot shot) . This is a medium temperature compressor and it should be running at a suction pressure of 26-32 PSI. It should have a head pressure of 125-135 PSI. If your suction pressure is below 26 PSI . you have a leak in the system. If you are running a high suction pressure of 35 to 60 PSI, that is telling you that you have a suction valve in the compressor leaking through. This will mean a compressor replacement. If the compressor is making noise when running I am sure you have a suction or discharge valve hitting the interior shell of your hermetic compressor. The only correction for that is a compressor replacement. I hope this helps, Matt Ace technician.
