If it does, then low refrigerant is the likely culprit. I don't have gauges so I can't test it directly.

As for ozone hole, this isn't the right forum and I don't want to inject politics into it at all, but there is very solid science behind the issue of CFC's and ozone depletion. The Wikipedia article Ozone depletion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a good overview. That is all I will say on that subject.

Yes, wrong place for this. But the "hole" is almost gone. As for recharge, plenty of R12 still around. But best find the leaks first.
