I cuncur, Too hot when installed and not inspected and maintained on a quarterly basis.

Ha! that was 1/4 full of floor dry, old oil filters and rain water from an oil line rupture the previous summer. The apprentice had quite a day removing all the trash. Not a very well kept piece of equipment.

Factory job, Federal Pacific condensor, Carlyle compressor. Very old unit, maybe 18-20 years?
Is that a factory, OEM installation of the vib-a-sorber flex tube? Is that a Carrier Condenser??

That would be a great place not to be when that launched.

blown 1 1/8" vibrasorb on r-22 rack Attachment 350491 Attachment 350501 Attachment 350511 Attachment 350521 Found this just 10 days after a repair on a 5' section 4 1/8" suction line going through the ceiling. It's an R-22 system. 2nd picture is the wall facing the unit. Needed 3 gallons of oil as well. Third and fourth pictures are the "original" problem...condensor making noise...mmmm...where's the missing fan? Oh, here it is, in the condensor coil...still running!
