Compressor, Replacing Due to Leakage or Internal Damage

Compressor, Replacing Due To Leakage Or Internal Damage

For example, because of noise or no compressor output
- Discharge refrigerant circuit.
- Remove compressor.

NOTE:
- In the event of internal damage (compressor), check refrigerant hoses and condenser. If, e.g., swarf has penetrated, clean refrigerant hoses and condenser (flush with refrigerant R134a or blow through using compressed air or nitrogen),replace refrigerant hoses if necessary.
- In vehicles with two evaporators, the refrigerant oil quantity in refrigerant circuit may be greater than the quantity already filled in the replacement compressor, if necessary add the remaining refrigerant oil quantity to the refrigerant circuit.

- Replace dryer cartridge, receiver or reservoir and restrictor.
- Examine expansion valve for dirt or corrosion and replace if necessary.
- Assemble, evacuate and charge refrigerant circuit.
