Condenser Assembly

Before removing the A/C condenser core start by testing for leaks if any damage is expected. A technician needs to install a new suction accumulator/drier only when system contamination emerges from a broken A/C compressor or damaged suction accumulator/drier. The first step needs to be execution of the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure. The procedure starts by taking out both the battery and upper sight shield from the radiator. The A/C condenser core requires removal of both the condenser to evaporator tube connection and A/C compressor to condenser discharge line with peanut fittings using the connect and disconnect procedure. Remove first the bolts holding the radiator supports before taking out the two supplemental bolts. The A/C condenser core needs to be lifted out while tilting the radiator backward. The new A/C condenser core installation requires the reversal of removal steps while the correct amount of PAG compressor oil YN-12-C F7AZ-19589-DA or an equivalent that meets Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B must service the core. Also apply PAG compressor oil for lubricating the O-ring seal.

A leak test should be performed first to check for leaks before removing the A/C condenser core. A new suction accumulator/drier needs installation only when system contamination stems from compressor failure or when the suction accumulator/drier shows damage. The first step requires refrigerant recovery followed by battery removal together with the radiator upper sight shield detachment. The A/C condenser core service begins with using peanut fittings to detach the condenser to evaporator tube and the A/C compressor to condenser discharge line. Proceed by taking out the bolts that maintain the radiator supports and the two additional bolts. To remove the A/C condenser core you should first tilt the radiator backward and then pull the core up. Service and install the new A/C condenser core by reversing the removal process while applying PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C or equivalent that fulfills Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B). After applying oil, lubricate the O-ring seal with the same PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil.

Start HVAC condenser service by performing a leak test on the A/C condenser core before components extraction. Replacement of a new suction accumulator/drier should be performed when physical system contamination appears from defective A/C compressors or damaged suction accumulator/driers. Refrigerant recovery must happen before battery removal along with upper sight shield removal of the radiator. Begin the condenser to evaporator and A/C compressor to condenser discharge line uninstallation by correctly using the peanut fitting procedure. Start by loosing the bolts which anchor the radiator supports along with two more bolts. Lift the radiator while tilting it backward in order to remove the A/C condenser core. Follow the removal steps in reverse to install the replacement A/C condenser core by servicing it with PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or an equivalent that follows Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B. Also apply the same PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil to the O-ring seal.

A leak test of the A/C condenser core must happen before removal in case a core leak exists. The replacement of a suction accumulator/drier should only be done when physical indications show system contamination following A/C compressor failure or suction accumulator/drier damage. The Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure must be the first step to perform. Start by removing the battery and thereafter the radiator upper sight shield. The peanut fitting procedure is used to complete both condenser to evaporator tube removal from the A/C condenser core and A/C compressor to condenser discharge line removal from the same core. Start by dismantling the radiator support bolts before proceeding to remove the two further bolts. The installation requires lifting out the A/C condenser core after tilting the radiator back. To install the component workers must follow the reverse procedure while servicing the new condenser core with appropriate PAG compressor oil YN-12-C F7AZ-19589-DA or similar oil matching Ford WSH-M1C231-B standards and applying this oil to the O-ring seal.

Before removing the A/C condenser inspectors should verify the presence of core leaks through a test procedure. The system needs a new suction accumulator/drier only when contamination evidence appears following a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier. The start of repair requires implementing the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure for refrigerant recovery. The first step requires removing the battery and radiator upper sight shield. Use peanut fitting procedures to disconnect both the condenser to evaporator tube and A/C compressor to condenser discharge line from the A/C condenser core. Disable the radiator supports with the bolts and proceed to remove the remaining two bolts before lifting out the core. Tilting the radiator backward enables you to remove the A/C condenser core through a lifting motion. Install the parts in reverse order while performing correct PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) / equivalent WSH-M1C231-B service on the new A/C condenser core. Also apply PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil to the O-ring seal.

Lubricate the O-ring seal with the same PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil.
