2002 Ford Escort A/C Condenser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser on 2002 Ford Escort?

  A: The HVAC condenser maintenance process commences through proper recovery of the refrigerant. Begin by removing the bolt then disconnecting the A/C manifold and tube suction side spring lock coupling but ensure to use port plugs for preventing moisture and dirt contamination. The next step requires users to separate the front condenser to evaporator line spring lock coupling by employing the proper sealing of all ports. Begin the repair by removing Nuts that secure the LH radiator upper support bracket and then proceed to take out the Bolts from the RH radiator upper support bracket. Remove the pin-type retainers and the upper radiator air deflector before you separate the mounting brackets of the A/C condenser core using its retaining bolts. The installation requires following removal steps in reverse order while servicing the new A/C condenser core with PAG Compressor Oil YN-12-C or an equivalent material under Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B. The suction accumulator replacement is necessary only if physical system contamination exists or the A/C compressor or suction accumulator suffered damage. Prior to removing any components the A/C condenser core should undergo leak testing.
