General Compressor Repair Techniques

Because of the various refrigeration unit models a 
given compressor may be used on, no attempt is 
being made in this manual to show a removal 
procedure. This manual assumes that the 
compressor has been removed properly in 
accordance to the maintenance manual for the 
appropriate model.

This manual does cover the drive coupling 
removal and reinstallation. The illustrations used 
are typical, your installation may vary from what 
is shown.

Dirt and Moisture can Easily 
Ruin Compressors!

Compressors are assembled at the factory in 
special clean rooms with filtered, conditioned air. 
Field conditions will not always allow factory 
clean repair areas but every effort should be taken 
to keep the compressor work area as clean as 
possible. Follow these rules to protect 
compressors from dirt and moisture.

Pump down the system and recover the 
refrigerant in compliance with Federal, State 
and local regulations.

Use dry nitrogen to break the vacuum. This 
prevents dirt and moisture from getting into 
the compressor.

Use cap plugs or tape instead of rags to cover 
compressor openings as soon as vibrasorbers 
or service valves are removed. Poloyol ester 
oil draws in moisture like a sponge and rags 
will not stop moisture from entering the 
compressor.

Remove all dirt and debris from the 
compressor prior to disassembly.

Work in a clean, closed area. Stay away from 
open doors or windows that allow dirt to blow 
in parts cleaning areas, grinding areas and 
bead blasting machines.

Keep your tools and workbench spotless. 
Keep your hands as clean as possible.

Once the compressor is opened to the 
atmosphere, get the job done quickly. Plan 
ahead. Have your parts and tools ready.

Only use chemical solvents that leave no oily 
residue, such as naphtha, lacquer thinner, or 
brake cleaner to clean compressor 
components. The solvents must be 
nonchlorinated. 

Do Not Bead Blast 

compressor components clean.

If the job must be interrupted, cover the 
compressor. A fresh, clean piece of plastic 
sheeting wrapped tightly around the 
compressor is best. Cloth should not be used 
as it does not block moisture.

Be sure to use the correct oil to prevent 
contamination of the system.

Always keep your refrigeration oil capped. A 
few minutes with the cap off can ruin it!

Do not dip seal parts in oil. Containers of oil 
used for dipping parts sit open and collect 
moisture, dirt and dust. Instead, use a small, 
clean oil can dedicated for use only with the 
correct oil for the compressor you are 
repairing.

Discard all the old O-rings and gaskets that are 
exposed while working on the compressor. 
O-rings and gaskets should not be reused. 
Replace them with new ones. 

Compressor Oil Indications

Discoloration of the oil is an indication of a 
contaminated system and future problems. Refer 
to the following compressor Oil Color Code to 
diagnose the conditions and correct it.

Compressor Oil Color Code

COLORLESS or LIGHT YELLOW. Indicates 
good compressor oil.

BLACK OIL. Indicates carbonization caused by 
air in the system or the presence of wear particles 
that contain iron. Change the compressor oil and 
oil filter.

LIGHT BROWN OIL. Use an acid test kit to test 
the acidity of a sample of the compressor oil. For 
alkyl benzine oil use acid test kit P/N 203-346. 
For polyol ester oil use acid test kit P/N 203-518. 
Change the compressor oil if the test indicates the 
oil is acidic.
