Radiator fan LOUD after bottle of freon..??? 2016 Silverado

[E1994c]

This weekend I had an extra bottle of freon laying around and decided to check if my truck could use some. (Big mistake) if it aint broke don't fix it!! 

 

Anyways.. I hooked up the gage and it was in the green but i figured I could add a bit more since it was on the low side of the green. So i started adding freon, and suddenly the air just stopped blowing cold. 

I freaked out and unplugged the gage and assumed I had locked up the compressor... but then it started blowing cold again while driving.. 

 

The AC has been blowing cold the last 2 days now BUT as soon as I turn the truck on with the AC on.. the radiator fans go on full blast.. it sounds like a plane about to take off.. I'm assuming it has to do with the extra freon I added because they had never done this before. 

 

Also, if I turn the AC off the fans will slow back down after a few seconds... and I soon as i hit the AC button and hear the compressor click, the fans go back up to full speed

 

 

Any suggestions?? I'm mad at myself for causing an unnecessary problem.. I just hope there's a simple fix for this.. 

 

I'm thinking about taking it to a professional and have them vacuum the system and add new freon. But first I'd like to see if anyone has a different suggestion or knows what is going on

You probably didn't do anything THAT bad to it. Take it to a shop that does AC. They probably just need to purge a little bit.

Cheap easy fix. Just jam a stick in there when it stops zip tie it down there are two anyways.

But really you can purge it yourself.

Yup just let a bit out, that's all the dealer or so called pro would do..  more ain't always better,

Just dont let anyone see you "let some out" up to $27k in fines and up to $10k for the person who turns you in.
