B.Important Notes for Component Replacement
CAUTION
When replacing a component listed below, see the notes to help ensure proper operation.
Component | Notes |
|
|
Compressor | • Install a new drier, start capacitor, run capacitor, and start relay. |
Expansion Valve | • Install a new drier. |
| • Attach the expansion valve bulb to the suction line in the same location as the previous |
| bulb. |
| • The bulb should be between the 10 and 2 o'clock positions on the tube. |
| • Secure the bulb with the clamp and holder, then insulate it. |
|
|
• Install a new strainer and drier. | |
Solenoid Valve | • Use copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing valve lines. |
| |
|
|
Fan Motor | • Install a new fan motor capacitor. |
