and water. These contaminants must be carefully removed 
otherwise even small residues will attack replacement 
compressor motors and cause failures.
The following procedure is effective only if the system is 
monitored after replacing the compressor to insure that 
the clean up was complete.
.   This procedure assumes that the previously listed 
compressor motor circuit tests revealed a shorted or 
open winding. If so, cautiously smell the refrigerant 
from the compressor service port for the acid odor of 
a burn out. 
WARNING: The gas could be toxic and highly acidic. If no 
acid odor is present, skip down to the section on changing 
a non-burn out compressor.
2.   Remove and properly dispose of the system charge. 
DO NOT vent the refrigerant or allow it to contact your 
eyes or skin.
3.   Remove the burned out compressor. Use rubber gloves 
if there is any possibility of coming in contact with the 
oil or sludge.
4.   To facilitate subsequent steps, determine the type of 
burn out that occurred. If the discharge line shows no 
evidence of sludge and the suction line is also clean 
or perhaps has some light carbon deposits, the burn 
out occurred while the compressor was not rotating. 
Contaminants are therefore largely confined to the 
compressor housing. A single installation of liquid 
and suction line filter/driers will probably clean up the 
system.
 
If sludge is evident in the discharge line, it will 
likely be found in the suction line; this indicates the 
compressor burned out will running. Sludge and acid 
have been pumped throughout the system. Several 
changes of the liquid and suction filter/driers will 
probably be necessary to cleanse the system.
5.   Correct the system fault that caused the burn out. 
Consult the factory for advice.
6.  Install the replacement compressor with a new 
capacitor and an oversized liquid line filter.
 
In a running burn out, install an oversized suction line 
filter/drier between the accumulator and compressor. 
Thoroughly flush the accumulator with refrigerant to 
remove all trapped sludge and to prevent the oil hole 
from becoming plugged. A standing burn out does not 
require a suction line filter/drier.
7.  Evacuate the system with a good vacuum pump and 
accurate vacuum gauge. Leave the pump on the 
system for at least an hour.
8.  Operate the system for a short period of time, 
monitoring the suction pressure to determine that the 
suction filter is not becoming plugged. Replace the 
suction filter/drier if pressure drop occurs. If a severe 
running burn out has occurred, several filter/driers 
may have to be replaced to remove all of the acid and 
moisture.
NOTE: NEVER use the compressor to evacuate the system 
or any part of it.
4.6C Replacing a Compressor- Non-Burn Out
Remove the refrigerant from the system. Replace the 
compressor and liquid line filter/drier. Charge the system 
to 50 PSIG and check for leaks. Remove the charge and 
weigh in the refrigerant quantity listed on the nameplate. 
Operate the system to verify performance.
4.7 Defrost Thermostat and Timer
The defrost thermostat is attached to the refrigerant 
suction tube between the accumulator and compressor. 
If the low side refrigerant temperature drops due to 
excessive frost formation on the evaporator coil, the 
thermostat opens. The compressor is then cycled off and 
on by the defrost timer. The blower will continue to run, 
causing air to flow through the evaporator coil and melt the 
ice when the compressor is off. When the air temperature 
and/or humidity increase, the evaporator temperature will 
rise and the thermostat will close to end the defrost cycle.
To improve performance in low temperatures, see Sec. 2.9 
for defrost timer adjustment.
4.8 Condensate Pump
Condensate is automatically pumped when the water level 
in the pump’s reservoir rises to close the float switch or if 
the pump purge switch is held in.
If the pump is unable to empty its reservoir due to a 
pump failure or blocked condensate hose, a pump safety 
float switch is triggered before the reservoir overflows. 
The switch turns on the pump fail light and turns off the 
compressor via its relay.
To replace the condensate pump:
.  Unplug the unit and remove the front cover.
2.  Disconnect the 2 hoses from the pump.
3.  Cut the pump lead wires near the old pump.
4.  Remove the 4 screws from the unit bottom that hold 
the pump to the base.
5.  Attach the new pump with 4 screws.
6.  Connect the new pump wiring. It may be easier to 
splice the new and old gray leads together with a wire 
nut, and splice the new and old yellow leads together, 
rather than route the new ones to the pump purge 
switch and pump fail light.
7.  Connect the hoses to the new pump. Carefully 
route the hoses so they do not contact the copper 
refrigerant lines or the compressor shell.
