5.1 Leaking or Damaged Components Ex‐
cept A/C Compressor, Accumulator or
Receiver - Circuit Empty of Refrigerant
The refrigerant circuit was completely empty (for example with
larger leak or cracked hose)
Note
♦ In the event of only a minor leak with slow escape of refrigerant
(for example at a small leakage point), the amount of refriger‐
ant oil lost and the amount of moisture penetrating is not
sufficient to influence operation of the air conditioner.
♦ The operations marked * are only to be implemented in case
of a major leak (for example following an accident).
– Remove malfunctioning component.
– Remove A/C compressor.*
