The problem

2R Cooling & Refrigeration Inc. completed a walk-in cooler repair at Francesca’s Pizza in the Gatlin area of Port St. Lucie, Florida. The restaurant’s R22 refrigeration system had a locked compressor that required replacement.

The problem

The walk-in cooler’s compressor was locked and had to be replaced.

The replacement

  • Used Tecumseh’s replacement guidance to select a compressor for the existing R22 system.
  • Installed a Tecumseh AKA9455EXD (AK167-ER-A35-A2) compressor in the existing condensing unit.
  • Kept the existing system on R22 — no refrigerant conversion was performed.

Result

The compressor replacement was completed. Choosing the replacement with Tecumseh’s guidance helped the owner save money while addressing the failed component.
