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.
