Hello John,

Overfilling with refrigerant is the least likely reason for the lack of cooling. Your condenser may be inefficient due to corroded fins and/or the refrigerant gas may be leaking out through dry seals. The good news is that your compressor is engaging. I wouldn't worry too much about the noise at the moment. That can be the result of a low charge.

What you need to do is to use an air conditioning specialist, either with premises (rare these days) or a mobile self employed person. They will not just recharge the system but use everything at their disposal to check your system thoroughly. If you're anywhere near Colwyn Bay, forum member Jules offers air conditioning services and specialises in the 75/ZT.
