Compressor Removal

The compressor sits on four grommets and is secured with four screws to the compressor mounting plate. (See Figure 5-25 & 5-26 )

To remove the filter-drier:

1.Pull unit from its installation position.

2.Extract the screws securing the compressor shield to the unit frame and remove from unit.

3.Using a small flat bladed screwdriver, release the locking tab from the wire harness connection and disconnect from compressor controller.

4.Using a needlenose pliers, remove spring wire holding the controller to the compressor.

5.Recover refrigerant by using EPA approved recovery system.

6.Using a 7/16” socket, remove the (4) bolts, one in each corner, holding the compressor to the base. (See Figure 5-24)

7.After refrigerant is completely recovered, cut suction and discharge lines as close to compressor as possible. Leave only enough tubing to pinch off and seal defective compressor. Plug or tape any open system tubing to avoid entrance of moisture and air into system. Remove inoperable compressor and transfer mounting parts to new compressor.

8.Install new compressor inexact same manner as original compressor.

9.Reform both suction and discharge lines to align with new compressor. If they are too short, use additional lengths of tubing. Joints should overlap 0.5” to provide sufficient area for good solder joint. Clean and mark area where tubing should be cut.

10.Cut tubing with tubing cutter. Work as quickly as possible to avoid letting moisture and air into system.

11.Reassemble unit.
