When a compressor has a burn out oil becomes acidic, system must be flushed out properly and not just with dry nitrogen. If your replacing a compressor due to lack of coil maintenance I recommend changing the captube as well its cheap but they are somewhat of a pain but a, must, change drier as well

Usually acid in the system. When changing the compressor, always flush the system with dry nitrogen, add a new filter drier and add an acid neutraliser to the oil when recharging the refrigerant.

How long do i deep fry bone in chicken, and what temp ?

Bone-in chicken requires slightly more time to cook than boneless cuts. The average time to deep fry wingdings is around four minutes. Whole wings take about 10 minutes, and thighs and legs require 12 minutes. Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking to use these time estimates; along with following times for cooking, watch for the color of the chicken's breading to develop a deep brown color. Fry chicken in a high smoking point oil heated to 350 degrees F and remove pieces as they become golden brown and float. Check internal temperature using a kitchen thermometer to ensure doneness; internal temperature should register at 165 F.

What are the maintainance action in machine

Maintenance activities should be done at so many hrs of run time. Your manual should list recommended service hrs. Telling you to change oil or filters every 3 months may be wrong. It all depends on how many hrs it has run. Maintenance items include air filters,belts,oil in both engine and compressor, fuel filter and battery if equiped on the engine.

maintenance may have been done, but your indicator needs to be reset.

Looking into buying a used 2003 honda odyssey with just over 100,000 miles. what maintence is required? i heard timing belt should be replaced. is this true and how much am i looking at?

For a 2003 used Honda odyssey, the following should be required:-

1. Replace the timing belt. (repair estimates at www.repairpal.com)
2. Drain the whole oil out of the engine and transmission
3. Replace the brake pads
4. Most of all run a diagnosis scan on the vehicle to detect any other possible maintenance that will be required.

Good luck and a good buy.

Take care.

Backside of motherboard fried near relay on ge

Good day,
The board could have simply failed. However, the compressor should be checked thoroughly before replacing it since it's pricey.
A service tech, would first test to make sure, none of the windings are grounded. This is done by removing the relay and overload mounted on the compressor, then checking each pin of the compressor to ground (bare copper tubing) with an ohm meter. Each pin should show near infinity.
Then he would connect a start cord designed specifically for compressor running, and run the compressor independent of the rest of the machine.
If it runs O.K. he would then test the overload and relay before calling the compressor O.K.

It has to be your call, as to how you want to proceed.
The price of the board being the big issue.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Replacing rubber hose on air compressor

You should be able to replace it, but it will require disassembling the unit. I do not have a diagram for you, but it shouldn't be too hard.

If you need more help, post a comment.

Thanks,
