Evaporator Core: Service and Repair
Front A/C Evaporator - Installation
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant
oil level will prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to
the refrigerant system.
NOTE: If only the A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 60 milliliters (2 fluid ounces) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use only refrigerant
oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected. Failure to
replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
1. Install the A/C evaporator (1) into the lower half of the HVAC housing (2). Make sure that the evaporator drain is clean and unrestricted and that
the evaporator insulator (3) is properly installed.
2. Install the probe for the evaporator temperature sensor into the fins of the A/C evaporator.
3. Assemble the HVAC housing.
4. Install the HVAC housing.
5. If the A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 60 milliliters (2 fluid ounces) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. When replacing multiple
A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant system. Use
only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
