AC compressor burn out #3

[DFendersExpy]

Ok this is my issue. My Ac compressor started to burn and then completely shut down. My mechanic replaced it along with a valve. It wasent as cold as before. Well the new compressor burned out , the mechanic replaced again along with the condenser and air dryer since he mentioned there was metal filings . Well guess what on a long drive down to Fl the damm compressor burned out again. So now my truck is in GA and have no damm clue what’s causing this issue. Any ideas?????

The system needs to be Flushed.to remove any particals of the old compressor and any other junk.

I there were filings in it I would flush it. It's not an air drier. Year, miles ?

 

[DFendersExpy]

It’s a 2011. Miles are 140k
The filter black tube he pulled out he called it the drier said it was clogged with metal. Something is causing it, it runs fine for a few days then begin to burn out and stop working.

If there is metal it the drier there is metal elsewhere also, it sounds like it needs to be flushed.

Your Mechanic should have flushed the system, Even instructions with a rebuilt states no warranty unless system is flushed. I would get a NEW mechanic !!! after 2 compressors must be alot of crap in system. Maybe he never added oil to the system or wrong oil.

Right, it could be an oil issue, I didn't think of that. They need oil to run right.

This sucks major moose egg!!! I gotta find a mechanic in GA now.... I'll hate to drive back to CT without AC...

Just make sure who works on it flushes the system. Or you will have the same problem later on

accumulator/drier and expansion valve.

 

[DFendersExpy]

Thank you guys I need all the help I can get.

accumulator/drier and expansion valve.

Expansion valve not necessary unless it's not working. In that case compressor would work but no cooling effect. Should see some freezing up of liquid line.

 

[DFendersExpy]

Well I’m preparing myself for the long drive HOT drive back to CT from Atlanta. So not happy about this

I have a 2007, compressor just locked up with a one acceleration from a light warning. I am about to replace the condenser (which has a drier cartridge built in), discharge tube from compressor to condenser, compressor, and both expansion valves (front and rear ac). I bought one gallon of flush also... waiting on all these Motorcraft parts to arrive!

It was just a correction since he called it an orifice. I know they aren't as critical as the old orifice.
