Technical Information:
What you need to know
If you’re replacing an A/C Compressor, you have to be prepared to
replace additional components in the system depending on the reason
why your own compressor failed. The information provided below was
made to help you save TIME and MONEY.
1.) Compressor locked/seized internally:
If your compressor seized internally it was due to insufficient
refrigerant or oil in the system or the system was blocked, leading
to overheating of the compressor which caused a breakdown of
internal parts.
Visible symptoms:
The oil in the compressor is black and/or has aluminum particles in
it. The belt snapped or when the a/c is turned on, the engine feels
like it’s going to turn off.
What you should do:
1. Replace the A/C Compressor (make sure to add PAG Oil)
2. Replace the Receiver Drier/Accumulator
3. Replace the Expansion Valve/Orifice tube
4. Flushing the a/c lines, condenser and evaporator is REQUIRED (We
professionally recommend to replace the condenser on modern
vehicles since the passage on the fins are so small that a flush
will not remove all contaminants).
5. Vacuum the system for 30 – 45 minutes. This will remove any
moisture in the system.
6. Add the correct amount of refrigerant to the system.
7. Run vehicle on lowest fan setting for about 3 minutes to allow
the compressor to cycle the refrigerant and oil.
The reason why it’s important to replace the additional parts
listed is because if you add a new compressor to acontaminated
system, the compressor will cycle the contaminants and will
eventually lock up again
2.) Compressor is making noise:
There are two possible reasons why your compressor is making
noise.First being that the compressor is suffering from internal
damage due to a lack of refrigerant or oil in the system.This is an
early sign that the compressor will seize, please go back to the
first example and follow the instructions. The second reason is
that the bearing on the compressor is bad.
Visible symptoms:
The compressor makes noise when the a/c is on or off, the clutch
has a red/brown discoloration caused by overheating.
What you should do:
With the right tools and some mechanical knowledge,you can replace
the bearing on the compressor without having to remove it from the
vehicle.
We carry almost all bearing sizes for a/c compressor
clutches.Please contact us and we will provide you with the item
number so you may purchase the clutch bearing.
3.) Compressor does not engage:
If the compressor does not engage even though the system is
properly charged, the coil may no longer be functional. This can be
an electrical issue of the vehicle or the coil may have suffered
from overheating of the compressor.
Visible symptoms:
The epoxy in the coil has bubbles, cracks and looks “dried out”.
What you should do:
Replace the clutch assembly or the a/c compressor. Please contact
us for availability.
4.) Compressor is leaking:
Compressors can leak due to various reasons. This can happen if the
compressor overheats, obstruction in the system and overcharging
the system.
Visible symptoms:
UV dye is found on the shaft or body of the compressor.
What you should do:
Replace the compressor and conduct a leak test in order to ensure
that there are no other leaks in the system.
Note: These are the most common issues found when it comes to a
faulty compressor.
We advise that you take your vehicle to an ASE certified mechanic
that is able to properly
diagnose your a/c system and determine the problem.
There are other problems that may be present in your system
which may not be listed on here. If you
still have questions, do not hesitate to contact us, we are here to
help.
