Yes, a clogged orifice tube can lead to compressor failure. The orifice tube regulates the flow of refrigerant in the air conditioning system; if it becomes blocked, it can restrict refrigerant flow, causing the compressor to work harder than normal. This increased strain can lead to overheating and eventual failure of the compressor. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent such issues.
Yes, If the orifice tube was clogged or damaged. A faulty desiccant bag or compressor are usually the cause.
A clogged lubrication passage would cause a failure of whatever component is not getting the fluid.
Yes.
An air compressor dryer helps to clear away dust, water droplets, gas and oil that might be clogged or stuck in electronic equipment, which can cause problems.
Bad compressor valves most likely... If the expansion valve or orifice tube is stuck open it will cause this condition also.
the low pressure switch is bad or you have a blockage in the system like the orifice tube
What is the cause of a compressor if not trip to its overload
Yes, if the radiator is clogged and the engine overheats. The main cause of head gasket failure is the engine overheating.
Your compressor may not be working properly due to issues such as low refrigerant levels, a faulty motor, or a clogged air filter. It is recommended to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and diagnose the problem to determine the exact cause and necessary repairs.
The tensioner maintains proper tension on the serpentine belt. Too much tension can cause premature failure of the belt, water pump, AC compressor, alternator, power steering... Too little tension can cause belt slipping, resulting in premature belt failure and poor operation of the water pump, AC compressor, alternator... AND when those pulleys are slipping, they generate a lot of heat which can cause premature failure of the water pump... you get the idea.
The Haynes Repair Manual #92036 for Toyota Corolla and Geo/Chevy Prism 1993 thru 2002 (ISBN 1 56392 455 2) $25 gives step by step information on how to change the AC compressor. Good luck! I am about to give it a try myself. == Insure that debris screens are installed in both the suction and discharge ports, else your warranty may be at risk. Replacement of the drier/receiver/hose unit assembly and the strainer/orifice tube is highly recommended. Compressor failure causes debris to be quickly distributed throughout the entire system. This can cause expansion valve failure or plugging-up of the condenser, also.
Over heating,. Compressor working too nhard because of clogged coils. Clean yutside coil and inside coil unit.
