Removal And Replacement Of Compressor; Removal And Replacement Of Drier - Hoshizaki KM-1800SWH/3 Service Manual

C. Removal and Replacement of Compressor
Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been
made.
Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the
new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.
Due to the ability of the POE oil in the compressor to absorb moisture quickly,
the compressor must not be opened more than 15 minutes for replacement or
service. Do not mix lubricants of different compressors even if both are charged
with R-404A, except when they use the same lubricant.
