SUBJECT: A/C SYSTEM SERVICING
Whenever a compressor or major component, such as condenser assembly, is replaced, especially if the compressor is diagnosed as being "seized", the receiver-dryer assembly must be replaced and the system hoses, etc. should be cleaned out. This will ensure that no metallic particles will clog or damage components in system warranting further repairs.

NOTE: All compressors and receiver-dryers requested by the Parts Return system must be capped with the oil retained. Use the caps from the new compressor and receiver-dryer to properly seal the returned components. This return procedure will aid the manufacturers with their failure analysis testing.
