Learn ALOT more about "Superheat" and "Subcooling" in relation to air conditioning.

When you have a good understanding of these concepts, then you will be able to quickly diagnose TXV and many other refrigeration problems.

TECH NOTE : In regards to "SPORLAN" txv's.

The POWERHEAD's tend to rust out and loose their "sensing" charge(This does not mean that any r-22 or r-410a refrigerant has gotten out of the system, because these two parts are not connected so system pressure can't leak out with a powerhead leak.) What results is either a low or very low suction pressure (for no good reason) or a total pumpdown condition. The powerheads can be replaced very quickly at not much cost, but you need a special super skinny 'pipe wrench' used for sink repairs :> I ALWAYs insulate the new powerheads with corktape or rubbatex to prevent the next one from rusting out.
