I need to respectfully disagree with the first step. Slowing the fan will cause more of the gas to stay in the evap further starving the condenser. The condenser is already so close to starved that it wouldn't surprise me if there isn't sufficient liquid at the captube. Adding a small amount of charge will increase the flow rate and reduce liquid line temp which will by effect cause a lower evap temp. I still suspect the fan to be far too fast, but it needs more gas first, we dont want to risk hurting the compressor!
