AC recharge

I just tried to recharge my ac, i hooked the vaccum pump up and got everything ready to go, As soon as I hooked the freon up the comp started making some noise, i thought maybe since it had been a while it would take some time to move some of the oil around. After a while the AC quit. does anyone have any suggestions.

sounds like your compressor may have seized and broke. when you were charger it turned on right? did you let it get to the full around 50ish psi ?

If you didn't fill it all the way the compressor will click on and off. When the compressor turns on, it'll pump from the low pressure side to the high pressure side until the pressure on the low pressure side gets too low at which point it will turn off. Then the pressure will equalize causing the low side pressure to rise until the compressor turns back on. This will repeat endlessly until the AC system is full.
