Ever seen a txv with a leaking diaphram? Thought the bulb lost the charge which is why im replaving it, but when i broke the bulb off it still had pressure. I blew through the stem out of curiosity to see if my lungs were strong enough to move the diaphram and i notice bubbles. Edit: May not be leaking, it may just be the air from around the diaphram pushing out when the diaphram flexes. The 2 rods were very corroded and dirty and I believe thats why the valve wasnt responding to adjustments. Looks like it was over-heated too by whoever installed it because inside was black. Filter was dirty but not packed. Unit running good now with new valve. First txv ive done on a cooler
