Vacuum out the system before the recharge. Blowing it out will just introduce a lot of moisture, unless you have dry nitrogen of course.


I neglected to mention vacuum....a necessary step, thanks fora pointing that out. I recommended blowing it out in case the compressor was damaged and introduced any debris in to the system. There are specific cleaners for that purpose, but using compressed air won't hurt as an extra precaution.

If your orifice tube has metal bits in it or is extremely black, the compressor probably blew up inside and it's necessary to at minimum clean the system or better yet replace the condenser.
