Suggestion, since the system was opened as you mentioned. Replace all of the O-rings. A kit is like $5.
Be prepared to replace the drier and the orifice tube. and what ever component exposed it to atmosphere.
Read carefully the details for your temperate zones you reside in for the orifice tube best to use. Rockauto info was very helpful. s
Separate the hard lines and the compressor and flush the system well from both directions, rinse with water, blow air through the lines. replace O-rings, reconnect all lines. take it to a shop that will draw that system down for an hr or more. Then have them properly fill based upon ambient temp so its filled properly. keep in mind that doesnt mean its a 100% fill to capacity charge.
enjoy your ice machine...
