Hello all, and thanks in advance for any help.

I am having a problem with my AC. The local tech told me it was my Condenser. Wanted almost $1000 to replace.
Plus, one of my actuators was broken, another $200.

I fixed the actuator and am working the condenser. It was recommended that I also replace the drier, which I am also going to do.

In researching, it was also recommended that I replace the orifice. I looked in the outlet from the condenser and could not see it.
I also looked at the in and out of the drier with no luck.

Does anyone know where it is located?

Also, I did not replace my compressor. So how much oil should i put in the condenser and drier.

I read that the system should take 3.4 oz.

I am going to add 1 oz of dye.

I read that the condenser holds 2 oz. and I should add 1oz to the condenser and 1oz to the drier.

I just want to make sure.

Thanks,

Jim
