Compressor Removal
The compressor sits on four grommets and is secured
with four screws to the compressor mounting plate.
(See Figure 5-26)
To remove the compressor:
1. Pull unit from its installation position to access the
rear compressor area. Disconnect power from unit.
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 5-26)
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 addition-
al 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 quickly to avoid
letting moisture and air into system.
11. Reassemble unit.
