Couple things…. You should always shake the can side to side… Not up and down like he did. He also stated to keep going until the can is empty… don’t do that. Read the meter included with the can. That is why it is there.
I was told I put too much freon in my Honda Accord. And now it's only running hot air. Is there a way I can possibly fix this problem on my own? Or should I just take it to a mechanic?
@@dannyave4dapeople no, you should stop on green , it doesn't matter if it's on the lower or higher side of green it makes no difference, as soon as it's on green stop!
@@aaronverico1396u can evacuate the system with a vacuum pump from Harbor Freight and a set of ac hoses/gauges. If u dnt already have both tho, it would probably be cheaper to let a mechanic do it. Plus its technically “illegal” to evac refrigerant into the atmosphere. Never stopped me tho lol
It’s 2024 & this tutorial WORKED! I did EXACTLY what he did in this video and my air conditioner is now blowing cold air! The product was $50 & well worth it. If you’re nervous but feel like your car meets the requirements for this situation of blowing room temperature air, THIS IS FOR YOU! It works!
How is it blowing out of the dash at all when it’s set on the floor/feet!!!??? Should all the cool air be blowing down to the floor since that’s illuminated in the control display.
I need freon on my Accord 2012 - I wish you were near me to take it to you to do fix it for me. My car is blowing normal air when AC on. That means it needs freon. Nice video - Thanks for sharing.
@@thingsaroundusa9600 Yes, everything work really nice. It needs Freon. It does not leak. I am going to try and follow the instruction on this video and install it myself. It looks pretty easy to do. 👍🏼 Do I only need one can or two?
@@realestategomez You only need one can and buy the can that come with hose or line just like in the video. One end of the hose connects to the can and the other end connects to the low pressure line (larger line)
I only have one question do you move the can clockwise while pumping the freezer or stop pumping the freezer and then move can clockwise?Other than that video is very helpful Thank you 🙏🏽
when you turn on the air conditioning, make sure that the air blowing out is cool or warm. If the warm air comes out which mean that your air conditioning is out of freon. Also, make sure that your air conditioning system is not leaking and compressor working correctly before filling it with freon. Otherwise, the new freon does not last long. Hope this helps and greatly appreciate if you SUBCRIBE my channel for more helpful videos. Thanks
@@thingsaroundusa9600 I don’t have a problem with my ac. I’m saying when u were trying to tell the air blowing out of the vents it was set to the floor so there was no way u could feel it
Starts white on this gauge and then goes green. The yellow and red are there to tell you how badly you over filled it :p technically there's a correct psi for the temperature you're filling at. For summer you're looking between 40 and 55psi. 40 around 70 outside and 55 around 100 outside.
My ac takes a while to cool in this texas heat but, after i drive a while without too many stops it seems to cool off, not cold. Should i try injecting freon?
When you say put ac temperature to low, did you mean make it the coldest? Also it says sealant on the Freon can, does it mean that it reseals any leak? Thx
Great video but I just did the same thing on my 2008 accord . I removed low side cap and snap my hose and pressed the trigger but nothing happened so I was wondering if I need special fitting in between ? Like I said I pressed trigger but no freon is going into system , you can't hear compressor energized or is the can getting colder ?
Make sure the sharp tip on the adaptor penetrates through the freon can. This allows the freon flow through the adaptor hose and entering the AC system.
Sometimes the spring loaded inside the female adapter is little harder to snap on the male. You might want to check the adapter to see if it is advance or retract freely.
There could be dozens of things wrong and reasons why the AC isn't blowing cold. The easiest thing to try is getting a can with a valve and connecting it and seeing what the low pressure reads before adding more. As a Honda ages it loses the gas slowly so if it's old and never been touched it's probably just low on gas. Worst case it's 30 bucks just don't get one with oil or sealant and give it a shot.
Question, was the AC turned on and blowing hot air while car was running & recharging with that can, and then AC eventually started blowing ice cold air? I need to do this in my 2008 accord, and just need to know if AC must be on or off when connecting recharge can, thank you
Too much effort. Cold can while you're filling on a hot day probably feels nice. Just keep your face away from the gauge hose in case you didn't attach it right :p
So my heat works fine but the a/c doesn’t and everything else looks good that you mentioned so that means I can just use the Freon and do it myself right?
Check your fuses too I had blown out a couple of them for the cooling fan only my heater would work once i swapped out the fuses I needed and replaced several other my AC works again just need a recharge it to get it back to full power make sure to swap out any other damaged fuses too not put strain on more parts of the electrical system or it could cause the blower motor to go out
Ensure your ac work properly by turning on the ac to max speed and see if it blows air. Then look at the compressor to see if it engages and disengages. Once, you know that these components work well then you can add freon to the low side hose. I hope it helps.
This is a terrible how to video to the novice and it is too long, could have been 5 min. If this is the video about recharging the AC system, stick to that, he rambles about checking the AC compressor among other things but did not show anything. There are also multiple errors in his voice over, it is the AC compressor, not air compressor, get it right! In addition, you NEVER want to overcharge the AC system, when the gauge read 40-45PSI, STOP charging it, overcharging the AC system will cause major leak and failure. In addition, what is the point of showing glove and safety glasses if he was going to use it? The AC freon is a dangerous chemical, it could freeze your skin or hand instantly, use the rubber glove when you connect and disconnect the hose to the intake port in addition to wearing the safety glasses to protect your eyes. He also did not show what the AC setting inside the car and did not have a thermometer to measure the air temperature. The thermometer will tell exactly what the temperature at the air vent BEFORE and AFTER the recharging to show it works!!! There are much better video from people who KNEW what to do rather than half baked video like this.
That's good advice but my old HVAC teacher uses no gloves one time and got some 134a on his hands and I was like "are you okay", he rubbed it off and said he was fine, it's nothing. So I'm not sure if it really freezes your skin or not LOL

He said fill it up all the way but also do not go past the yellow on the gauge .

Hi Gillert,
The majority of Honda Accord is leaking freon. You might want to check for leaks first then look to see if the compressor works properly.
@@thingsaroundusa9600 Yes, everything work really nice. It needs Freon. It does not leak.

Rotate can while pumping freon. Pls subscribe for more helpful videos.
Whenever I put the can on the adapter it the meter immediately when past the red line, but I still have no cold air?
Same here it went straight to red and I have no cold with compressor working also what do I do now??? Help me please 😢

@@thingsaroundusa9600 I don’t have a problem with my ac. I’m saying when u were trying to tell the air blowing out of the vents it was set to the floor so there was no way u could feel it
You do not keep doing it until you empty the can. You fill it until it registers in the green. Then it's done.
This ^
So it starts at red and goes to green ?
Starts white on this gauge and then goes green. The yellow and red are there to tell you how badly you over filled it :p technically there's a correct psi for the temperature you're filling at. For summer you're looking between 40 and 55psi. 40 around 70 outside and 55 around 100 outside.

When you say put ac temperature to low, did you mean make it the coldest? Also it says sealant on the Freon can, does it mean that it reseals any leak? Thx
Not major ones
Yes, you need to make it coldest. The sealant will help to seal any tiny leak in the system. Pls subscribe for more helpful videos.
Wasn’t really informational bro.. I’ll look for another video that’ll show step by step

Make sure the sharp tip on the adaptor penetrates through the freon can. This allows the freon flow through the adaptor hose and entering the AC system.
I don’t know what to do now if I recharge my a/c
Thanks
Hey I need help Can this work for a Honda Civic 2012??
Yes, the charging process is same, but you migjt want to buy the right type of freon for your Civic.
Why the male adapter won’t snap to female adapter?
Sometimes the spring loaded inside the female adapter is little harder to snap on the male. You might want to check the adapter to see if it is advance or retract freely.
Thanks, do you do the same to R12?
R12 should be left to the pro's since it's illegal for the hoi palloi to work with R12...
How long does it take to fill up or is it normal for it to take long
No, it means you probably have a huge leak so there isn’t any pressure to build
Do i need to add refrigerant if it blows cold ac? One time it was blowing hot air, now it's good and hasn't blown hot air, it was only 1 time
If you AC blows cold air and you're good to go
That was you shaking the can? Oh thank God I thought I had to many edibles….
Greatly appreciate if you SUBCRIBE my channel for more helpful videos. Thanks
yo thank. Are you Viet? you sound like it
Greatly appreciate if you SUBCRIBE my channel for more helpful videos. Thanks
does this all apply to a 2013 Honda accord too? because my ac is blowing hot air but I've heard it could be because of a bad relay
There could be dozens of things wrong and reasons why the AC isn't blowing cold. The easiest thing to try is getting a can with a valve and connecting it and seeing what the low pressure reads before adding more. As a Honda ages it loses the gas slowly so if it's old and never been touched it's probably just low on gas. Worst case it's 30 bucks just don't get one with oil or sealant and give it a shot.
Ty awesome video !

My car won’t allow to recharge freon
Question, was the AC turned on and blowing hot air while car was running & recharging with that can, and then AC eventually started blowing ice cold air?
I need to do this in my 2008 accord, and just need to know if AC must be on or off when connecting recharge can, thank you
The AC needs to turn on wide open and set temperature to coldest (low)
wow
what happened to the safety protection? gloves and glasses?
Too much effort. Cold can while you're filling on a hot day probably feels nice. Just keep your face away from the gauge hose in case you didn't attach it right :p
How long does the recharge last?
If there is no leak in your car ac system and it would last for years.
@@thingsaroundusa9600 If there was no leak, wouldn't I not need to do this lol?
Car ACs all leak cause they aren't 100% sealed systems.
So my heat works fine but the a/c doesn’t and everything else looks good that you mentioned so that means I can just use the Freon and do it myself right?
Check your fuses too I had blown out a couple of them for the cooling fan only my heater would work once i swapped out the fuses I needed and replaced several other my AC works again just need a recharge it to get it back to full power make sure to swap out any other damaged fuses too not put strain on more parts of the electrical system or it could cause the blower motor to go out
