When a compressor fails, it often floods the A/C system with debris. If certain parts (the orifice tube/expansion valve and drier/accumulator) are not replaced and a full system flush is not performed when installing a replacement compressor, even the best new compressor may not perform properly. For this reason, it is important to clear the system of debris and replace all of the parts that were compromised when the first compressor failed. Because improper installation leads to compressor damage, the warranty terms on A/C compressors are very specific and the warranty is valid only if these terms are followed.

General warranty terms for an A/C Compressor are the following:

In order to ensure that proper warranty credit is issued if needed, the compressor installation instructions must be adhered to. All compressor defects must show proof of purchase of an Orifice Tube/Expansion Valve, Drier, and Approved A/C System Flush, or a Work Order showing the purchase of these items and that the system was flushed using approved procedures.
