Additional AC Compressor Info:

Your AC Compressor is like the heart of your AC system. The AC Compressor is a pump that is used to circulate refrigerant in the system. We get a lot of questions about AC Compressors that we will answer below, related to AC Compressor failure.

1.       Will the AC Compressor give any signs before failure? Most of the time the AC Compressor will make different noises when it engages, it varies with the vehicle but it is most noticeable when the AC is turned on, and the clutch engages the compressor.

2.       What causes the AC Compressor to go bad? The AC Compressor is in simple terms a pump, it has moving parts on the inside that will eventually after long use wear out and need replaced. Lack of lubrication has been the leading cause of failure in most cases. The AC Compressor must have oil in the system. If a leak in the system develops oil is lost and there is not enough oil to sufficiently lubricate the ac compressor.

3.       What other things should I consider when I change the AC Compressor? Other things to take into consideration are the expansion valve/orifice tube and the accumulator drier, they could become clogged with contaminants and/or plugged and need replaced.

4.       Does the ac system need flushed? Yes the AC system should be flushed thoroughly and sometimes the condenser may need to be replaced to be positive any and all contaminants are out of the system and the ac compressor can properly do its job.

5.       Are there any other parts I should replace? It is highly recommended to change the following parts along with the AC Compressor:

a.       Orifice tube

b.      Accumulator/Reciever driers

c.       Expansion valve
