Just changed the compressor and filter drier on the very same style unit. I actually found it easier to take the fan out of course and then hang down in the opening to get to the bottom portion of the drier. Good job Joe!
Call me a wise guy but wouldn't have been easier to go to Lowe's or somewhere and bought a dryer and plugged it in... Lol I am sorry that you had to get in that position! I'm proud that you're still able to get in that position get out of that position and come up and get that done correctly. And I know there are so many people that are thankful for you. But you won't hear when they get the bill.
I pull the bottom copper with the filter drier. On the 2nd 90 going up there is a solder point you can unsolder to do it outside the unit. Then when you put drier back on you have 2 solder points on top insurance of one on top and one on bottom
Just ordered the Navac6 pump with gauge built in. Gonna use that and the Navac analogs for vacuums. The Sman been a problem with microns since I got it also
Good vid. i would have prob done it a little different. bad location for a drier. vibration can crack tubing at header. bad location to weld. not serviceable. i would have cut tubing in drier area. welded on 2 pieces of 3/8 tubing and ran tubing out front of compressor then welded in drier out in front of compressor. why u say - 2 reasons. 1) mostly likely drier going to plug up again with whatever plugged it up in the first place. ( Compressor windings possibly coming apart. ) 2) easier access now & serviceable.

Braised in the rain. 👍
I remember when all I wanted in life was a pair of sman480v. Terrible micron gauge built in. Unless mine was defective out the box

Great points…. That was the original 2012 dryer, so next time I have a dryer issue we’re getting a new unit.
cool 😎 ... so next month we are getting a changeout video.
