when you tried to recharge it with the Freon what was your process and did you hear it turn on?

What I would do first is find the leak. Now the way to go about that is to put some freon in your system and have a shop find the leak with a freon leak detector.

Second is to pull a vacuum on your system and it has to be -29.92psi. This makes sure there is no leak in your system. But is doesn't check for a high pressure leak. It also gets rid of moisture in the lines.
