Inspection and Assembly After Compressor Failure

CAUTION:
- To prevent refrigerant system contamination and possible failure of the replacement A/C compressor, perform the following procedures.

NOTE:
- A dirty A/C evaporator core orifice or a condenser to evaporator tube containing black refrigerant oil and particles indicates that the A/C compressor has failed and must be replaced.

1. Remove and discard the A/C evaporator core orifice.
2. Remove the A/C compressor
1. Drain the residual refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor and measure the volume for proper system oil matching.

NOTE:
- The receiver/drier and A/C evaporator core orifice cannot be cleaned and must be replaced.

3. Remove the receiver/drier.
1. Completely drain the residual refrigerant oil from the receiver/drier and measure the volume for proper oil system matching.

NOTE:
- System flushing is the preferred method of cleaning. However, if flushing equipment is not available, perform system filtering.

4. Perform an A/C system flushing or filtering procedure:
- If A/C system flushing equipment is available, clean the A/C evaporator core and the A/C condenser core by flushing.
- If A/C system flushing equipment is not available, perform the refrigerant system filtering after A/C compressor replacement procedure.

5. Install the replacement A/C compressor.
6. Install the replacement receiver/drier.
7. Install the replacement A/C evaporator core orifice.
8. Properly oil match the system.
9. Evacuate and charge the system.
