Removal And Replacement Of Compressor - Hoshizaki KML "F" SERIES Service Manual

3. 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.
