IMPORTANT:
1.
When replacing compressors of this type due to seizing (broken internal parts), also replace the connected high pressure and suction lines (Figures
9 and 10).
NOTE:
This prevents future compressor damage from particles lodged in old refrigerant lines that remain even after flushing.
2.
Always replace expansion valve and receiver dryer when replacing a compressor that had broken internal parts.

D.Air Blowing Constantly From Defroster Outlets Model 107
If air continues to exit from the defroster outlets, with buttons "Normal" or "EC" engaged and the system is in the cooling mode, the linkage
attachment eyelet on the left defroster flap may be broken off.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to replace the left flap. Both right and left flaps are identical and need only to be exchanged from side to side. Short-cut
methods involving replacement of only the left flap by defroster duct removal are not allowed since complete re-attachment of the duct is
not possible. Also, the chances for dropping a shaft bushing are greatly increased. Both conditions will lead to future noise complaints.
Warranty will be rejected if the following repair method is not used.
