Re: [DML] Re: A/C cutting out

["Ryan Wright" <ryanpwright@xxxxxxxxx>]

One last question: I notice the compressor from DMCH says it includes the
accumulator and orifice tube. Is it recommended these be replaced along with
the compressor, or what? If so, why?

Since this is one of the few jobs I won't be doing myself, is there anything
I should tell the shop? Any other work I should have them do while they're
replacing the compressor?

Thank you,

-Ryan
