After recharging, you expect the system to operate normally, delivering cooling with pressures within the expected range and no signs of moisture or leaks. When you see icing on the evaporator, it means the coil is getting too cold or moisture is freezing on the fins, which points to an improper refrigerant balance or airflow issue that wasn’t resolved by the recharge. Unusually high pressures are a clear red flag that the refrigerant charge is off or the system isn’t rejecting heat properly, signaling a problem that needs further diagnosis.

The other scenarios describe ideal or already-identified conditions: proper cooling with normal pressures suggests everything is fine; finding a leak during follow-up is a legitimate fault to fix but isn’t a direct sign of a lingering problem caused by the recharge itself; confirming the charge is correct with no issues means no problem remains.
