Removal

NOTICE: If installing a new A/C (Air Conditioning) compressor due to an internal failure of the old unit, carry out the following procedures to remove contamination from the A/C (Air Conditioning) system. Failure to remove contamination will result in poor A/C (Air Conditioning) performance and/or damage to the A/C (Air Conditioning) system components.
- If A/C (Air Conditioning) flushing equipment is available, carry out flushing of the A/C (Air Conditioning) system prior to installing a new A/C (Air Conditioning) compressor. REFER to Air Conditioning (AC) System Flushing .
- If A/C (Air Conditioning) flushing equipment is not available, carry out filtering of the A/C (Air Conditioning) system after a new A/C (Air Conditioning) compressor has been installed. REFER to Refrigerant System Filtering Following Air Conditioning (AC) Compressor Installation .
- Install a new TXV (Thermostatic Expansion Valve), as directed by the A/C (Air Conditioning) flushing or filtering procedure.
- Install a new receiver/drier desiccant cartridge as directed by the A/C (Air Conditioning) flushing or filtering procedure.

NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier desiccant cartridge is not required when installing a new A/C (Air Conditioning) compressor, except when there is physical evidence of a failed A/C (Air Conditioning) compressor, or damage to the receiver/drier desiccant cartridge.
