Troubleshooting does NOT start and end with the TXV. First, you need to inspect components (especially filters, ductwork, and filter-driers) and confirm the airflow and charge. You can use measureQuick to monitor superheat, subcooling, static pressure, and other key measurements, and the TrueFlow grid can give you a true idea of the CFM your system is moving.
