When you’re installing replacement parts from an
aftermarket supplier, you are likely to be given a recommended
procedure, and if you want warranty coverage, that’s what you have to
use.
Sure, obviously required steps (OE or aftermarket
supplier) following a catastrophic compressor failure normally include
cleaning the refrigeration system and/or replacing parts,
deep-vacuuming and an accurate recharge, followed by complete leak
detection and any needed repair. However, as part of “Doing the
Complete Job,” Four Seasons also has long recommended
(1)
checking coolant temperature and doing any necessary cooling system
service;
(2) checking airflow and servicing the air director system, from
deflectors
and covers to the fans;
(3) checking clutch operation, including voltage
supply.
The
bottom line – from whoever supplies your parts – is the same:
* No
Shortcuts * , * No Substitutions *.
