Compressor Joints; Condenser Joints - GE GYE18JBL Technical Service Manual

Compressor Joints

1. Cut the compressor tubing as pictured below
(cut as the discharge/condenser line as close
to the compressor connection as possible).
2. Cut a section from WR01X10907 tubing as
pictured below (about 4 1/2 inches away from
one of the elbow ends). Discard the larger
section.
3. Clean the ends of the tubing being connected.
4. Using Lokring connectors WR97X10034 (for
discharge/condenser tube), WR97X10091
(for suction tube to compressor joint),
WR97X10021 (for suction jumper created
to cabinet suction line, some tubing bending
required), and WR97X10078 (for access
valve), connect the tubing to the compressor.

Condenser Joints

1. Cut the condenser tubing as pictured below
(cut about 2 inches below the elbow entering
the compressor).
2. Cut the condenser tubing as pictured below
(cut as close to the bend as possible).
3. Shorten the ends of the new condenser to
leave as much straight tubing as possible to
perform Lokring connections.
4. Clean the ends of the tubing being connected.
