Hi X-men
Boneheaded move on my part. I had a loose belt tensioner.
I didn’t know that. Thought the AC had locked up.
Bought new compressor, evaporator and tidbits.
Because of the size, I’m stuck with a brand new condenser.
Costs too much to mail back. It wasn’t a lot anyway.

I also have a brand new Aux fan to install.
As you know, I’m right there.
My system works perfectly. No need to do anything


Question of the day is:

Evacuation of the system,swap condenser, refill?
OR
Leave it in my shop till the next ice age.
