york ys oil level switch

Do I have to pull all the refrigerant out of the chiller to change out the oil level sensor, or is there some way to isolate the seperator.

yep! the refrigerant has to be pulled out. What happened to the float sensor? I had to replace one about a year ago and found the sensor burnt. couldn't determine what caused it but i did install some 1/10 amp fuses inline and they have never blown.

Thanks for the info.
The owners have a lot of redundancy so they didn't get me a PO for four months, to do repairs on an oil supply solinoid (the one after the filters) that was leaking by,. That caused all the oil to drain out and I feel like it has frozen upth float; however, I really don't know yet. I will let you know when I take it out. York should have made the seperator in a way that it could be isolated. I realize that would be hard with the discharge going directly in to it, but they could have figured it out.
