Compressor Reimbursement / Replacement

No Charge Warranty Compressor Replacement

• Call in the failure of the compressor to the Service Department at 855.372.1368. Please have the unit serial number ready.
• Take a picture of the defective compressor tag and submit it to True via one of the following methods:
• Email: compressortags@truemfg.com.
• Online submission form found on truemfg.com.
• The picture must be clear and readable and include the whole tag. All numbers will need to be read to verify that the correct compressor was still installed in the unit.
• In your submission, include the unit’s serial number, and the ship-to address (if requesting shipment of another compressor). Once the tag is verified, the compressor will be sent out at no charge.

Parts Depot Warranty Compressor Replacement

• If a picture of the compressor tag is not obtainable, then the compressor can be purchased from any of our Parts Depots in your area. Once the compressor has been changed out, the tag can be returned to the Depot, and credit will be issued once the tag is verified by the Depot. To find the nearest Parts Depot in your area, please call 855.878.9277 in the US and 800.860.8783 in Canada. Ask for the Warranty Department.

True Warranty Compressor Purchase

• If you have an account with True, then a compressor can be ordered and shipped out. You will be billed for the compressor.
• Once the compressor has been changed out, the tag can be returned to True within 30 days of the compressor change out for credit after tag verification. Return the tag by email to compressortags@truemfg.com.

Local Compressor Purchase

• If a non-OEM compressor is purchased locally for a warranty unit, please send in a priced copy of the invoice from the compressor purchase along with the tag. Once the tag is verified, then True will reimburse the compressor purchase up to the amount that the compressor could have been purchased from True.
• Fill out the Warranty Compressor Reimbursement Form below and include it with your invoice.

Notes

• Failure resulting from non-OEM compressor installations is not covered under warranty.
• Claims must be received within three months of the repair date.
• If the technician calls in the failure and is told that the unit is under warranty, this does not mean that the compressor will automatically be no charged or credited. The end user must have abided by True’s Warranty terms included with the unit, and all tags must be verified for proof that True’s compressor was still installed in the unit. Please note that a start component failure would not be covered under a compressor-only warranty, the compressor itself must fail.

For reimbursement a copy or picture of the tag from the defective compressor must be submitted to:compressortags@truemfg.com.

What is the compressor failure?

Good Refrigeration Practices

Good refrigeration practices will always start with good detective work to find out what caused the failure to eliminate the possibility of a repeat failure. Below is a step-by-step set of procedures True recommends following when repairing a refrigeration system.

• Before opening the refrigeration system remember that the POE oil is very hygroscopic and absorbs moisture very quickly.  DO NOT leave the system open to the atmosphere for more than 15 minutes. Any vacuum that exists before any repair should be broken with nitrogen to avoid moisture being pulled into the system.
• When accessing the system do not remove process tube ends. Use temporary bolt-on access valves for diagnosing and repair.
• When repair is complete valves need to be removed.
• For manifold gauges, use the shortest hose possible. True recommends a maximum length of 12″.
• Do not introduce anything into the refrigeration system other than a flushing agent, nitrogen, refrigerant, or oil.
• To reduce moisture contamination when changing a component keep the refrigeration system closed with plugs or caps.
• Recover the refrigerant from the system. Note, that R-290 can be vented in a well-ventilated area with no source of ignition.
• Remove the faulty refrigeration component and filter the drier by cutting it out with a tubing cutter.
• Observe the filter drier and components removed for signs of oil breakdown and foreign objects, such as desiccant from drier, metal pieces from valves, etc.
• Test the oil from the refrigeration system for contamination using the proper test kit for that type of oil.
• When replacing a compressor make sure to also remove all the old oil from the system.
• If the oil shows signs of contamination. Flush the system.
• While purging nitrogen through the system drill a hole(approximately 1/8″) (3.18 mm) in the bottom of the accumulator (IF EQUIPPED) to avoid leaving contaminated oil in the system. After blowing the hole out with nitrogen, make sure to braze the hole closed.
• Always replace the drier with the exact OEM size.
• When brazing an R-290 system, always purge nitrogen through the system before brazing.
• Place a nitrogen charge in the system to check for any leaks.
• Release the nitrogen down to 2 PSI.
• Change the vacuum pump oil regularly to ensure the deepest vacuum pump capability.
• Start pulling a vacuum as soon as possible to help remove moisture.
• Pull down to 500 microns using a micron gauge.
• See if the system will hold this micron with the gauges closed and the pump switched off to test for leaks of moisture.
• Once the system is evacuated, weigh in the listed refrigerant charge located on the serial tag inside the cabinet. R-290 canbe added as a liquid or vapour. Refrigerant 134a/404A charges a liquid only. Refrigerant should be charged through the high side.
• Test run unit and check for proper operation.
• Remove access valves.

ANY NITROGEN ADDED TO THE SYSTEM SHOULD NOT EXCEED 200 PSI (13.8 BAR).
