About this part

This compressor is an R-22 and R-407C unit, so it is intended for servicing existing equipment
rather than for new installations using current refrigerants. If you are retrofitting from R-22 to
R-407C, the system must be converted to POE oil, and the liquid line filter drier should be
replaced at the same time.

Before you install a replacement compressor, find out what killed the original one. Burned
windings, a failed run capacitor, low refrigerant charge, a restricted metering device, or a bad
contactor will all take out a new compressor just as quickly. Check the electrical supply at all
three legs, confirm the correct rotation, and flush the lines if the previous compressor burned
out.
