Fridge compressors and AC compressors do. Try one of those. The compressor might have a bad seal so it's not building pressure.

I would not announce removing freon from anything as it is illegal. Just cut and run. :wink: I myself have yet to do it but only from a lack of resources.

freon isn't poisonous, but will displace air so if your in a closed or very poorly ventilated area then you could suffocate. So just hold your breath cut it, leg it then come back when is done. If the fridge is on its side then it might spit out oil as well.

but dont let it out the ozone will hate you :lol:

AFAIK, the dehumidifier compressor should be able to get to at least 300psi. Did you remove everything but the compressor and capacitor?

Wow that's weird. Either the compressor is crap or you're missing something. Pics?

It looks like the inlet is squished in a huge way... could that be part of the issue?
