So looks like your going to have to take to a specialist or at least get some gauges on the refrigerant system to check the pressure . If the system pressure is within the switch parameters and the switch not making then I would suggest your trinary switch is faulty but my gut instinct is you have a leak somewhere on the system and your pressure has dropped below the switch set point .Obviously volume will create pressure . If it is a faulty switch or you have got a leak, the system is going to have to be recovered to carry out the repair anyway
Reading your post when you had your refrigerant re charged and no leaks found , did the technician check the Schrader valves on removing the gauges as they are a known leak point on all refrigeration systems
I've no idea what they did Steve, I left it with them for an hour or so, and when I went to pick it up, he just said all done, no leaks
Just been out to check the valves, & when I took off the high pressure cap, there was a little hiss, green liquid inside, the low pressure valve also had a little fluid inside. I'm waiting for a local mobile ac chap to call back.
