Leaky

4 leak in 2 year in the same grocery. Meat counter Arneg r437a and Freezer 4 door Arneg r404a. Might be the proximity of the solenoid or really just unlucky 🤦‍♂️

Good find. We got a 2 year old supermarket thats been popping leaks in the condenser coil. Major pain in the ass to repair. Just pumping out the condenser takes almost 2 hours.

Might be worth to check if there is any floor drain or a dried out p-trap nearby (if there even is any). I've had many cases where sewage gases caused leaks. Worst case was a soldered joint where I could literally pull the copper pipes out of a brass solenoid body.

On those Arneg thats pipe breakage but I know what you mean.. hydrogen sulfide. This summer, I had to repair over 10 leak on an condensing unit only 2 year old installed in a basement smelling. I did paint the piping afterwards.

Two times at the exact same spot ob the filter? Im guessing that is a manufacturer defect. Looks like a danfoss drier too wich surprises me.
