  Q: How to service and repair the A/C condenser core on Ford E-250 Econoline?

  A:

  The first step before changing the suction accumulator/drier requires evidence that the system and its components have become contaminated or damaged. Start the A/C condenser core leak testing before removing it when there is a leak suspicion. Initiate Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure while removing the Air Deflector by detaching its five retaining pins. Denoting the compressor discharge line isolator requires removing its screw before placing it in a different position. Communication of refrigerant flow occurs by disconnecting compression discharge tubes and condenser to evaporator tubing assemblies while applying wrenches to both sides of fitting interfaces to prevent damage. The radiator needs to be moved backward carefully after unscrewing its two upper mounting brackets so you can reach the A/C condenser mounting brackets to remove them. Detach the A/C condenser core by removing it while protecting the cooling fins before removing the two seals using their eight retaining pins. The service process requires using PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or an equivalent that meets Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B for the correct amount serving the new A/C condenser core. Then install the two seals with the eight retaining pins to complete the installation. Fasten the radiator with screws after relocating it to place the two upper radiator brackets. New O-ring seals need to receive PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent petroleum-free hydraulic fluid for lubrication before being installed to the condenser and evaporator tube and compressor discharge line. Use wrenches on both fitting sides to avoid damage. The last step involves installation of the compressor discharge line isolator screw before putting the five retaining pins back on the air deflector and performing an evacuation and charging process on the A/C system.
